Asystole

I returned from vacation yesterday to find my Chinese Elm VERY VERY dry. The person I had watering decided to move it. All of the leaves have completely dried and turned grey. The branches and trunk look ok but I am not positive. I know that it had water the previous day but it has been so hot here in Northern California that it dried out. So can anyone help me with the correct steps to take now to give it the best chance to recover? Should I remove the leaves? Any help is greatly appreciated.
