HEART ATTACK
ENDS LIFE OF
HAMMOND

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 8
John Hays Hammond, ST., empire
builder, is dead at 81.
Mr.. Hammond died last night
at his home on Freshwater Cove
near here. He had come to his
estate Saturday and was ap
parently in good health. Last
night when his secretary, William
c. Griffin, entered the library
Of the Hammond nome he found
the aged mining engineer and
financier slumped in a chair A
physician pronounced him dead
Of heart attack.

known inventor, was summoned
from Washington Immediately
Another son, Richard Pindell

He was a friend and intimate
Of royalty, and all the great men
of his generations. He acted as
special ambassador and repreSen-
tative Of President Taft at the cor
onation of King George v, of Eng
lang, in 1911.
And although social, scientific,
and worldly honors had been show
cred upon him by many nations,
and although he was many times
a millionaire and took a keen in
terest in politics, he never held po-
htical office.
Mr.. Hammond's first entrance
into politics came in 1908 when
he was apparently bound for the
vice presidency on the Republican
ticket, but withdrew in favor of
a New Yorker. In 1916 he was
mentioned as a compromise can
didate in the Hughes-Roosevelt
fight, until Roosevelt withdrew
from the race for the nomina.
ton. He was a bitter opponent
Of the foreign policy of the Will
son administration.
Once Sued by Sully
Mr.. Hammond'S business life
was not always peaceful. In
1914 he was sued by Daniel Sully,
the cotton king" for $1,500,000
on the grounds that he forced
Sully out Of a cotton corporation.
Sully won a 100000 verdict.
- Abroad he was viewed as one
Of Americas greatest figures. He
was a personal friend of George
v. of England.
