night in Roosevelt hospital. Taken vic.

operated on that night. Though hope
il held out TO the members Of his fam.
lily that he may recover 1t ii Is admit
ted that the chance is extremely slight.
II was supposedsthat he was suffering
from an attack Of appedicitis, but the
operation revealed the fact that one OF
his intestines had been ruptured. The
operation was extremely difficult and
unusual, and II was feared Mr.. Wood
could not survive IT, but he rallied from
its effects and was still alive last night.
He had mot been feeling well for sew
eral days, but as his health had been
excellent up to that time, he paid little
attention to his illness until it sudden
ly became 80 acute that he was hurried
to the hospital. His condition has so
far been so critical that not even his
wife or the other members of his fam
lily have been allowed to see him.
Mr.. Wood retired from active bust.
ness about four years ago and came from
Pittsburg to make his home in New
York.
Great surprise was occasioned when
announcement was made last February
that almost year before Mr.. Wood had
married a well.known show girl.
Mr.. Wood Is 55 years old, and is well
known in the higher business circles here
and in Pennsylvania.
