as the morning advanced that the
improvement in the pope's condition
noted after the operation yesterday
has not been maintained. The heart

carried from his bed to a reclining
chair about noon. He was able to
converse with doctors and intimate
attendants. A telegram has been sent

specialist, calling him to attend a
consultation at the vatican tomorrow.
