HUTCHINS HAPGOOD
AUTHOR, 75, IS DEAD
Hutchins Hapgood, author and former newspaper man, died yesterday in his home in Provincetown, Mass., after a brief illness, according to word received here. His age was 75.
Mr. Hapgood, a brother of Norman Hapgood, editor and former United States Minister to Denmark, who died in 1937, was a leader in Liberal literary circles a quarter of a century ago and in the movements which gave birth to the Greenwich Village tradition and the artists' Provincetown.
Born in Chicago, a son of Charles H. and Fanny Louise Powers Hapgood, he received an A.B. degree in 1892 and an A.M. degree in 1897 from Harvard. He also studied abroad.
Mr. Hapgood taught English composition at Harvard and Chicago University for a time, contributed to magazines, weeklies and reviews, and was the dramatic critic of the Chicago Evening Post in 1904.
Before the first World War he was an associate editor on The New York Globe. He also had been an editorial writer on the old New York Post and The Press.
Mr. Hapgood was among the first to explore the artistic, literary and human riches of New York's East Side. He helped organize the Provincetown Theatre, wrote for it and once even acted in it.
In his autobiography, "A Victorian in the Modern World," published in 1939, he writes of his friendships with Jacob Epstein, the sculptor, when the latter was "a ghetto boy unknown to the outside world"' Chuck Connors, "aristocrat of the slums"; District Attorney Jerome: John L. Sullivan, and Finley Peter Dunne, the humorist. He also knew Jo Davidson, Emma Goldman, Theodore Dreiser, Eugene O'Neill, Gertrude Stein and Bertrand Russell.
In 1930 Mr. Hapgood and his brothers, William and Norman, turned over to employes the controlling stock of the Columbus Conserve Company in Indianapolis, making it a strictly cooperative venture.
His works included "Paul Jones," 1901; "The Spirit of the Ghetto," 1902; "The Autobiography of a Thief," 1903; "The Spirit of Labor," 1907; "An Anarchist Woman," 1909; "Types From City Streets," 1910; with Neith Boyes, "Enemies," 1916, and "The Story of a Lover," 1919.
He leaves a widow, the former Neith Boyce; a son, Charles H.; two daughters, Mrs. Miriam Bright and Mrs. Luke Faust, and a brother, William.
