He died Sunday night at Lenox Hill Hospital, with Carmine Santullo, his aide and close friend for more than 40 years, at his bedside.

Sullivan had been hospitalized Sept. 6, but his illness was a closely kept secret. Bob Precht, Sullivan's son- in-law and head of Sullivan's TV production company, said the performer-columnist did not know that he had cancer of the esophagus.

broadcasting in 1930 with a radio variety show, Sullivan made his debut on CBS with his weekly TV show in May 1948. The program was called, "The Toast of the Town." In its 23 years on television, the popular Sunday night program introduced to viewers such now-famous performers as the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis and Dick Van Dyke. Although the show folded in 1971 because of low ratings, Sullivan continued hosting several specials a year. Sullivan, born in Manhattan and raised in Port Chester, N.Y., began his newspaper career 53 years ago as a $10-a- week reporter on the Port Chester Daily Item. He drifted into sportswriting and started his Broadway column in 1931 on the now-defunct New York Journal American.

Even at the height of his television success, he continued writing his syndicated "Little Old New York" column, which in recent years ran twice a week. His last column was in today's editions of the New York Daily News. At ease behind the typewriter, Sullivan's television style was stiff, his delivery halting, his verbal fluffs frequent. Performers and critics variously referred to him as the Great Stone Face, Smiley, the Miltown Maestro and Rock of Ages. Although a gracious man in private, Sullivan often feuded with the New York critics who rapped his show, among them John Crosby, whose criticism of the first Sullivan show was headlined: "Why? Why? Why?" He also occasionally battled with performers, such as singer Frank Sinatra, who aroused the Sullivan ire in 1965 by refusing to appear on Sullivan's show for less than $25,000.

Sullivan, who in recent years lived at the Delmonico Hotel, an old show-biz hostelry on Park Avenue here, said in a 1972 interview that he was severely depressed when his weekly show was cancelled after 23 years. "When you're off the air, it's like being sentenced to the death chamber.

By The Associated Press U.S. Sen. i a Schweiker and Gov. Milton Shapp should both command i a i i i northwestern counties, but Shapp will find it harder to match his last victory margin, say newspapermen surveyed by The Associated Press. Writers and editors were telephoned at 13 newspapers spanning the 15-county region, which Schweiker carried by 52,000 votes in 1968 and Shapp won by 49,000 in 1970.

Republican Schweiker rolled to his 1968 advantage against incumbent Democrat Joseph S. Clark, and the survey indicated he may fare better against Major Peter Flaherty of Pittsburgh. "I would say Schweiker will win big up here," said a writer for the Erie Morning News. In i last i Schweiker had a a i i a i Democratic Erie County, where about one-fifth of northwestern Pennsylvania's votes are cast. "Schweiker's been fighting a running battle, or least he appears to have been, to get funds to repair and maintain Presque Isle park, and he has labor backing this time," said the Morning News writer.

Shapp, meanwhile, has solid support among Democrats in Erie, though Republican Drew Lewis has campaigned heavily there to go out the GOP vote. Shapp also figures to benefit from registration edges other more populous counties lake Beaver and Mercer, the survey showed. However, newspapermen noted that Lewis could gain from accusations of corruption against Shapp's administration. "We've got a grand jury here in Butler County looking into macing, and it could hurt Shapp," said a writer for the Butler Eagle. "That may cause some trouble," echoed the Erie Morning News reporter.

Here are the county-by- county forecasts: ERIE-Democrats hold a 60 per cent voting edge, though a state assembly contest could pull out voters in favor of Republicans. Schweiker to win by better than his margin of 1968. Shapp may lose some of his majority in 1971.

Lewis has campaigned heavily here. MERCER--Shapp won here by 6,000 votes, but that margin could be eroded by corruption allegations against officials of his administration. Schweiker won here by 2,200 votes and he has picked up union support since then. Flaherty also has some political enemies here. LAWRENCE-A tough time for Flaherty in this county, which Schweiker won by 3,000 votes in 1968.

Increased Democratic i a i should help Shapp hold his own. He won here by 4,000 votes last time. BUTLER--A grand jury investigation here into macing could hurt Shapp, who carried the county by 6,000 votes in 1971. Schweiker also won here by 6,000, but popularity may have warned. "One fellow stood up at a i a i last February and attacked one of Schweiker's statements about Nixon," said a Butler Eagle writer.

He got a fair amount of applause. There are a lot of conservative people here." BEAVER-This was the lone northwestern county to give Clark a majority over Schweiker in 1968. "But Schweiker has labor support this time and he may do better," said a writer for the Beaver Falls News-Tribune. Little hope for Lewis. Shapp won by 23,000 votes in 1970.

CRAWFORD-Shapp won here by 1,800 votes last time. Schweiker won by 5,000. "Lewis is known pretty well here. He's not really 'Drew anymore," said a writer for the Meadville Tribune. MCKEAN-Shapp lost here in 1968 by 2,000 votes and it could get worse.

"He named a labor leader as chairman of the county Democratic Party and it split the organization wide open," said a writer for the Bradford Era. Schweiker carried this county by 4,800 votes last time. He should come close to that this time. beat Broderick here by about 100 votes, and it could go either way with Lewis," said a writer for the Warren Times- i Schweiker won here by 3,000 votes in 1968.

is taking the elections too seriously up here," said a writer for the St. Marys Press. Shapp won here by 3,000 in 1970 and Schweiker by 2,000 in '68. "I don't think Shapp will do as well," said the writer. of the quietest years we've had.

Half the people don't even know who's said a writer for the Indiana Gazette. Schweiker won here last time by 6,000 votes and he should do as well again. Shapp will win, though maybe closer than his margin of 1970. A i i close to Flaherty's backyard. and some conservatives here were miffed by Schweiker's anti-Nixon stances.

That could erode Schweiker's margin of 1970. Shapp won by 5,000 votes here last time, but Lewis will make it closer. JEFFERSON-Shapp lost here by about 500 votes last time and Schweiker won by. about 6,000. Democrats have been making big strides in registration, and they may benefit Shapp and Flaherty.
