now is not whether Gov, Guild win live
but how long. DIR, Winslow said this
morning that he expected him to sur
viye the day. The change for the
worse has been sudden and complete.
The governor passed night Of pain
and is failing 50 rapidly that the mem
bers of his family keep within easy
call.
AS ten o'clock a bulletin from mis-
head physician, Dir. Winslow. gave no
encouragement at all, stating, in fact,
that the patient failed during the
night. The bulletin reads as follows:
sThe governor has failed somewhat
during the night and his condition is
not 50 good this morning. Another
consultation Of three physicians will be
held today. II IS feared now that the
governors heart will not stand the
strain against which his naturally ro-
bust body has borne up well and that
he canhot survive another sinking spell
such as Yesterdays.
At one o'clock this afternoon, his
physicians said sThe symptoms are
markedly less favorable than yesterday,
his strength is maintained. No imme-
diate change for the better or worse IS
