George Murray Hulbert (May 14, 1881 – April 26, 1950) was a United States representative from New York and a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Education and career[edit]

Born on May 14, 1881, in Rochester, New York, Hulbert moved to Waterloo, New York, and attended the public schools.[1][2] He received a Bachelor of Laws in 1902 from the New York University School of Law.[1][2] He was admitted to the bar in 1902 and entered private practice in New York City from 1902 to 1934.[1][2]

Congressional service[edit]

Hulbert was elected as a Democrat to the United States House of Representatives of the 64th and 65th United States Congresses and served from March 4, 1915, to January 1, 1918.[1]

Later career[edit]

Hulbert was the Commissioner of Docks and the Director of the Port of New York City starting in 1918.[1][2] He was elected in November 1921 as President of the Board of Aldermen of New York City, serving from 1921 to 1925.[3][4] He served as the acting Mayor of New York City during the long illness of John Francis Hylan.[1] He served as President of the Boston, Cape Cod and New York Canal Company.[1][2]

Removal from the Board of Aldermen[edit]

Hulbert was ousted from the Presidency of the Board after he accepted an honorary position as a member of the Finger Lakes Park Commission that was offered by New York Governor Al Smith. In a decision by New York State Supreme Court judge Joseph M. Proskauer, according to section 1549 of the New York City Charter, Hulbert automatically vacated his position in city government by accepting an appointment at the state level.[5]

Federal judicial service[edit]
