A Democrat, he was most notable for serving as mayor of Albany, New York after winning an election in 1921 that ended control of Albany by the Republican organization headed by William Barnes, and established the dominance of the Democratic organization led by Daniel P. O'Connell and Edwin Corning.[1] Early lifeHackett was born in Albany on December 7, 1868, the son of John Hackett and Martha Stormont.[2][3] His family resided in Albany's South End neighborhood, and Hackett was educated in Albany.[4] He began working while still a boy, including delivering the Albany Evening Journal newspaper, which was later owned by Republican Party leader William Barnes Jr..[5] After two years at Albany High School, Hackett dropped out in order to begin studying law in the office of Albany attorneys Amasa J. Parker Jr. and Edwin Countryman.[6] He was admitted to the bar in 1889, and then practiced law in Albany.[7] Hackett also joined the New York National Guard, serving in Albany's Company A, 10th Battalion (formerly the Albany Zouave Cadets).[8] He was a member of the unit from 1890 to 1899, and attained the rank of sergeant.[9] Hackett later served as treasurer and president of Company A's veterans association.[10][11] A lifelong bachelor, Hackett was a member of the Baptist church, and became a lay preacher.[12] He was also active in the Freemasons, and served as Master of Albany's Masters' Lodge Number 5 from 1900 to 1902.[13] He was Master of the Albany chapter of Rose Croix, and Commander in Chief of the Albany consistory of the Scottish Rite Masons.[14] Hackett was a member of the Elks, the Fort Orange Club, the Albany Club, the Albany Country Club, and the Wolfert's Roost Country Club.[15] Business careerIn addition to practicing law, Hackett went into banking and business. He worked his way up the ranks of several companies, and served as president of the Albany City Savings Institution, the Albany City Safe Deposit Company, and the New York Mortgage and Home Building Company.[16] Hackett also served on the board of directors of the Union Trust Company and the Commerce Insurance Company.[17] He was president of the Boulevard Garage Company, and treasurer and board of directors member for the Albany Chamber of Commerce.[18] Political careerHackett developed a friendship with Daniel P. O'Connell, another South End resident, who worked in the early 1900s to reestablish Albany's Democratic Party following over 20 years of domination by the Republican organization of William Barnes Jr., the grandson of Thurlow Weed.[19] In 1921 Hackett agreed to become the Democratic candidate for mayor. He was successful in the race against Republican William Van Rensselaer Erving,[20] which enabled implementation of the O'Connell organization's longtime strategy of running wealthy non-ethnic Protestants like Edwin Corning, Parker Corning, and Erastus Corning 2nd for major offices including mayor and Congressman to enhance the respectability and credibility of a Democratic organization run by working class Irish-American, Catholic figures like O'Connell.[21] Hackett won reelection in 1923[22] and 1925.[23] While campaigning for his third term, Hackett emerged as a likely candidate to be the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York in 1928, when incumbent Al Smith intended to be a candidate for President of the United States.[24] Hackett indicated to friends in late 1925 and early 1926 that he intended to enter the campaign for governor in 1928, presuming that Smith won reelection in 1926 and made the presidential race in 1928.[25] DeathHackett was visiting Cuba in February 1926 when, without warning, the car in which he was a passenger hit an obstruction or a rough patch of road.[26] Hackett was ejected, and sustained severe head injuries.[27] He lingered in a Havana hospital for about two weeks, but succumbed to his injuries on March 4, 1926.[28] Hackett's remains were returned to Albany,[29] and he was buried at Albany Rural Cemetery, section 108, lot 80.[30] Political ramificationsAs a result of Hackett's death, the Democratic Party in New York next turned to Edwin Corning as their likely nominee for governor in 1928.[31] Corning was a leader of the O'Connell organization, and had been elected Lieutenant Governor in 1926.[32] However, Corning began to suffer health problems, and declined to become a candidate.[33] As a result of Hackett's death and Corning's poor health, New York Democrats turned to Franklin D. Roosevelt to make the 1928 governor's race.[34] He was nominated by acclimation at the state party convention, and went on to defeat Republican Albert Ottinger in the general election.[35] LegacyAlbany's William S. Hackett Junior High School (now Middle School) was constructed on Delaware Avenue in 1926, and was named in Hackett's honor.[36] Hackett Boulevard, which runs from Holland Avenue to South Manning Boulevard in Albany, is also named for Hackett.[37]References1. ^{{cite news |date=November 9, 1921 |title=Barnes Machine Beaten in Albany After 22 Years |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/79077966/ |newspaper=The Evening World |location=New York, NY |page=1 |subscription=yes}} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Fitch |first=Charles Elliott |date=1923 |title=Encyclopedia of Biography of New York |url= https://archive.org/stream/encyclopediaofbi03fitch#page/221/mode/2up |location=New York, NY |publisher=American Historical Society |pages=221–222}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.ancestry.com/ |title=Albany Rural Cemetery Burial Cards, 1791–2011, entry for William Stormont Hackett |date=March 10, 1926 |website=Ancestry.com |publisher=Ancestry.com LLC |location=Provo, UT |subscription=yes}} 4. ^{{cite book |last=Grondahl |first=Paul |date=2007 |title=Mayor Erastus Corning: Albany Icon, Albany Enigma |url=https://books.google.com/?id=PfdU14bq2LUC&pg=PA166&dq=%22hackett%22+albany+%22south+end%22#v=onepage&q=%22hackett%22%20albany%20%22south%20end%22&f=false |location=Albany, NY |publisher=State University of New York Press |page=166 |isbn=978-0-7914-7294-1}} 5. ^{{cite book |last=Robinson |first= Frank S. |date=1977 |title= Machine Politics: A Study of Albany's O'Connells |url= https://books.google.com/?id=9nNevZeWHDQC&pg=PA50&dq=%22william+s.+hackett%22+1923+albany#v=onepage&q=%22william%20s.%20hackett%22%201923%20albany&f=false |location=New Brunswick, NJ |publisher=Transaction Books |page=41 |isbn= 978-0-87855-147-7}} 6. ^{{cite book |last=Hills |first=Frederick Simon |date=1910 |title=New York State Men |volume=2 |url= https://books.google.com/?id=QlxKAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA238&dq=%22william+s+hackett%22+%22albany+high+school%22+%22two+years%22#v=onepage&q=%22william%20s%20hackett%22%20%22albany%20high%20school%22%20%22two%20years%22&f=false |location=Albany, NY |publisher=The Argus Company |page=238}} 7. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=9nNevZeWHDQC&pg=PA50&dq=%22william+s.+hackett%22+1923+albany&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjro4LJurnMAhUCcj4KHasKAXsQ6AEISDAI#v=onepage&q=%22william%20s.%20hackett%22%201923%20albany&f=false Machine Politics: A Study of Albany's O'Connells], p. 41 8. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=PfdU14bq2LUC&pg=PA166&dq=%22hackett%22+albany+%22south+end%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi8m-WdtrnMAhWPQD4KHXJKBlYQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=%22hackett%22%20albany%20%22south%20end%22&f=false Mayor Erastus Corning: Albany Icon, Albany Enigma] 9. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=PfdU14bq2LUC&pg=PA166&dq=%22hackett%22+albany+%22south+end%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi8m-WdtrnMAhWPQD4KHXJKBlYQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=%22hackett%22%20albany%20%22south%20end%22&f=false Mayor Erastus Corning: Albany Icon, Albany Enigma] 10. ^{{cite web |url=https://dmna.ny.gov/historic/reghist/civil/infantry/10thInfNYSM/10thInfNYSMMain.htm |title=History, 10th Regiment, New York State Militia, New York National Guard, Civil War |website=New York State Military Museum |publisher=New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs |access-date=May 1, 2016}} 11. ^{{cite book |date=1920 |title=Albany City Directory |url=https://books.google.com/?id=UoVIAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA62&dq=%22hackett%22+%22albany%22+%22armory%22#v=onepage&q=%22hackett%22%20%22albany%22%20%22armory%22&f=false |location=Albany, NY |publisher=Sampson & Murdock Co., Inc. |page=64}} 12. ^[https://archive.org/stream/encyclopediaofbi03fitch#page/221/mode/2u Encyclopedia of Biography of New York] 13. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=QlxKAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA238&dq=%22william+s+hackett%22+%22albany+high+school%22+%22two+years%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiT2KPluLnMAhULdz4KHbLrDnwQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=%22william%20s%20hackett%22%20%22albany%20high%20school%22%20%22two%20years%22&f=false New York State Men] 14. ^{{cite journal |date=1926 |title=Necrology: William S.
