Life
editHe came to the United States in 1869. He learned the baker's trade, and in 1878 settled in Sayville where he ran a large bakery business. From 1902 on, he was Chairman of the Democratic Committee of Suffolk County.
He was Town Clerk of Islip for several years. In 1903, he was elected Supervisor of the Town of Islip, and was still in office when he was nominated to run for New York State Treasurer in 1906 on the ticket nominated by the Democrats and the Independence League. Although William R. Hearst, the leader of the League was defeated for Governor by Charles Evans Hughes, all the other nominees were elected, and Hauser was Treasurer from 1907 to 1908. In 1908, he was defeated for re-election by Republican Thomas B. Dunn.
In May 1907, a forest fire destroyed his huckleberry farm on Long Island.
He was a director of the Oystermen's National Bank of Islip.
