the President and fitted up for his comfort and
reception if it should be decided to remove him

1920 A.M.-NO GAIN SINCE YESTERDAY MORN
ING.
Doctor Bliss reports that the condition of the
| President this forenoon is about the same as
! yesterday forenoon, except that his pulse is a
| little higher. He was somewhat restless at
| times during the night, and did not sleep quite
as well as on Tuesday night. There has been no
perceptible change in the appearance of the in
famed parotid gland and two or three DAYS
may elapse before the swelling subsidies. Taking
everything into consideration the patient has
not gained any ground since yesterday morning
DRS. BLISS AND BOYNTON AGREE THAT IF THERE
is ANY CHANGE TO-DAY IT Is NOT FOR THE
BETTER.
Dr. Boynton said this morning that the
stomach was all right and doing admirably The
President had taken about the same amount of
beef juice and peptonized milk as yesterday
Still, however, in DR.. Boynton's opinion the
President is not in quite as good a condition as
he was yesterday. There has been no very
marked change, but the change. if any, was in
his opinion for the worse. He did not feel as
much encouraged to-day as he did yesterday If
the patient can maintain his strength the
slight poisoning of thesystem will be eliminated.
The question is, can the strength be maintained
DR.. Bliss this morning seems to think that if
there has been any change since yesterday it has
not been a change for the better
DOCTOR BoYNToN NOT HOPEFUL TO-DAY.
Dr. Boynton in an Interview with a reporter
OF the Associated Press at lao this morning,
replied to questions as follows:
" How is the President to-day, Doctor, in your
judgment?"
=" do not think he is any better"
" But does he hold his OWN"
"Well, cannot point to any particular symp-
tom and say that it is noticeaby worse. but the
Impression which his general condition makes
upon me to-day is a little less favorable don't
feel quite as much encouraged as | did yester-
day.
"What are the features of the case which
seem to you most disquieting?
" The condition of his blood and his extreme
weakness"
"He has not then made any gain in strength
since yesterday morning?"
- l cannot see that he has
"Does he not take his food as well as yester-
day?"
Yes, quite as WELL His stomach seems to
maintain its improved condition"
Then, If the stomach performs it's functions
property, and nourishment continues to be we'll
assimilated, will not the condition of the blood
change for the better?''
SIT will in time. The poison will be eliminated
from the blood if the patients strength and
vitality hold out; it is question Of time and
endurance"
THE wonnd continues to do well, does it
not?"
.'Yes. but do not think the. condition of the
wound is SO important consideration now
The President is very weak and Is as yet gaining
strength very slowly, if at AL. The great
question is can he be sustained through this
period of prOstratiOn. If he eaa l think he will
eventually rally from the depression caused by
the septic faint in the blood and finally recover
DEPRESSING DAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
That the forenoon was not as comfortable for
the President to-day as yesterday, and that the
Presidents condition was not as good was fully
shown by the midday bulletin The President
was more feverish during the morning, and his
general condition has continued to be not that of
aman improving or even that of man holding his
own. Compared with the midday bulletin yes
terday the pulse to-day is beats higher; the
temperature is the same--992 2, and the respira-
ton is two points more frequent. There is a
general air of discouragement around the White
House to-day This was not shown so much in
what was said as in what was left unsaid Com
pared with this mornings bulletin there was a
rise from 1O6 to liz in pulse, an increase from
90-5 to 99.2 in temperature, and from 18 to 10 in
respiration. All things considered there was at
IL O'Clock a great deal of anxiety as to the con-
dition of the patient. The noon bulletin was as
follows:
Official Bulletin-12:30 pm.
RISE IN PULSE AND TEMPERATURE
Since the issue of this mornings bulletin q
rise in the Presidents temperature, similar to
that which occurred yesterday morning. has
been observed. His pulse is somewhat more
frequent From the incision in the parotid
swelling few drops of pus were discharged this
morning; the size OF the swelling has not dimin-
ished. In other respects his condition has not
rerceptibly changed. Pulse, 112; temperature,
99.2; respiration. 10.

FRANK H. HAMILTON.
DIR. HAMILTONA LITTLE MORE ENCOURAGED THAN
HE WAS YESTERDAY.
Dr. hamilton left the White House this after
noon shortly after one o'clock. He said to THE
STAR reporter that he did not feel any less en-
couragement to-day than yesterday. Son the
contrary, ne continued, 1--WE feel little more
encouraged"
The pulse continues high does it not?' asked
the reporter
Yes. OF course it would be better were the
pulse less wiry, but We do not feel any great
anxiety"
DO You think there is any cause of imme-
date alarm?''
mo, Il do not. On the whole I do not think
there has been any perceptible change in the
PRESIDENTS condition since yesterday.
