 The mayors last night was typ icaI of the grim tenacity which characterized his career. Before midnight, his physicians had said he could not live an hour more. At 2:3O. when he had sunk into a coma, they moved him out of the oxygen tent in which a precarious spark of life had been maintained for hours following blood trans fusion.
 But still the mayor, unconscious, battled on.
 Relatives and friends went into his room, stood a while by his bed- side and left, unable to watch the touching, hopeless fight for long at time.
 At the bedside when Cermak died were his three daughters, his brother, Joseph, his sister, Mrs Ka1lal, and Vivian Graham, IF, his granddaughter, who held his hands for hours during the night.
 Mrs Clara Beesley, Cermak's secretary: Dr Frederick Tice. one of the staff of consultging physi- ciayss. and Dr K. c. Woodward. hos pital superintendent, also were in the room.
 The mayor died in the same room in the right wing of Jackson Memorial hospital where he had lain through most of his long fight.
 "He did not rouse before he died" Kelley said.

 Mayor Cermak passed away very quietly and peacefully at 6:57 a. m.'

 <. $. McCready. Miami director of public safety, came to the hos pital this morning. He refused to discuss the plans for trying Zan- gara, but it was no secret that the utmost speed in the, case was plan ned.
