Son N J at 830 oclock this morn
ing At his bedside were Mrs Ho
bart and his son Garret A Hobart
Jr together with Dr William K
Newton and his wife and private
Secretary
Mr Hobarts death had been ex
pected for some hours The begin
ning of the end came yesterday af
ternoon when there was a sudden
failure of the heart and from this
attack Mr Hobart never rallied
He had been sick for a long time
and had suffered frequently from
heart failure and his strength had
been undermined Gradually the
failure of the hearts action be
came more apparent and soon af
ter midnight last night Mr Ho
bart became unconscious He re
mained in that condition until his
death
Mr Hobarts death was due di
rectly to angina pectoris complica
ting myocarditis

Socrates Tuttle of Paterson N J
He vis admitted to the bar in 1869
and became the city counsel of Pat
erson in 1871 He was elected
counsel for the board of Chosen
Freemen in May 1872 entered the
legislature in 1873 was re elected
in 1874 and made speaker in 1876
His constituents sent him to the
senate in 1879 and he was pres
ident of that body in 1881 and 1882
He was delegate at large to the
republican national convention in
1876 and again in 18S0 He be
came a member of the national re
publican committee in 1884 and
served until 1896 when he was
nominated for vice president and

played an important part in po
litical affairs
The law applicable to the vice
presidency was enacted January
19 1896 by the 49th congress first
session The main features were
as follows
Be it enacted etc that in case
of removal death resignation or
inability of both the president and
vice president of the United States
the secretary of State or sec
retary of the treasury or
secretary of war or attorney
general or secretary of the
navy or or post master gen
eral or secretary of the in

the disability of the president or
vice president is removed or a

he shall call a special sesbiou

senate and will discharge all the
