Gov. Guild In a
Critical Condition.

Boston, March 1S.-It was announc-
ed at IL o'clock tonight that Gov. Cur
tbs Guild, who has been i'll two weeks,
is in a, critical condition. His physi-
clan, DIR. F. B. Winslow, found the gov
ernor so seriously ill late today that 1t
was decided to call two other physi-
clans into consultation. and Drs. F. c.
Chatuck and Elliott r. JOselyn were
summoned. The two physicians agreed
with DIR. Winslow that the governor
was seriously ill and in critical con-
dition.
ATTORNEY General Dana Malone of
Greenfield was ct the governors resi-
dence tonight. When asked as to the
exact condition of Gov. Guild he said that
he was suffering from a complication of
diseases.
Governor Guilds last public appearance
was on the evening of March 8, when he
delivered a notable address at the annual
dinner of the Republican Club of Massa-
chusetts in Symphony hall. at which Sec
of War Taft was present.
Soon afterwards the governor was
obliged to absent himself from the State
House. His physician found that he was
suffering from a severe attack OF rneunl-
atism and the grip. The grip greatly
weakened him ard his condition was fur
Their threatened by loss of sleep due to
the severe rheumatic pains.
Yesterday his condition showed some
improvement, which appeared to be full
~ maintained this morning. AS the day
progressed, however. it became evident
to his ply sician that the governors con-
dition was less favorable. An eXamina-
ton showed that he was critically Ill and
1t was decided to call in Drs. Shattuck
and Joslyn The diagnosis confirmed the
report of DR.. Winslow.
It was stated tonight that all hope had
not been abandoned and that fatal ter
mination Of the governors illness was
not looked for within the next Il hours.
The announcement that Gov. Guilds
condition had become critical was 4 Sc
we're shock to his relatives. friends and
state officers. 1t had been generally sup
posed that the governor was making fair
progress toward recovery and it was not
known that any serious developments
would occur.

THE FURTHER EXTENSION
 OF THE HUGHES BOOM
The Governors Followers in New York SoIidifyinq the Movement.

New York, Jan. 22.-Responding to- night to a formal notification of his election as president of the New York Hughes League, Senator Edgar l.. Bracket of Saratoga. declared that Hughes had done work that entitled him to the undivided support of New York republicans. Moreover, the sen ator said he was the strongest candi- date the party could name for the presidency. As governor he had not attempted to organize the legislature, scolded at the judiciary nor attempted the role of party boss.
 In his speech of notification Chair man Craig of Brooklyn said the league was organized without the authoriZa- ton or encouragement of the governor who consequently had been placed un- der no obligations to it. ''It may be said.' he added that the league is not working for the personal honor of Governor Hughes but for what it be- lieves to be for the best interests of the people

Rio de Janeiro. Jan. 9. - To the booming of guns and the cheers of thousands of accompanying pleasure craft, the American warships sailed from Rio this afternoon, bound for Puenta Arenas in the Magellan Straits. TeR~lays will bring the fleet almost midway on the 14.00O mile cruise to san Francisco. Not an un- pleasant incident has marked the visit Of the Americans. They have been feasted and feted. both officers and men.
 Half the population turned out early this morning to give them fitting farewell Quavs and public buildings held the crowded thousands watching the warships until they disappeared through the mouth of the bay into the open sea President Pana proceeded on a yacht down to where the warships were lying. and made tour of all the American ships. Accompanied by Ad- miral Alencar. the minister of marine, and other high officials, he visited the divisional flagship Minnesota, remain ing for about an hour.
 Admiral Thomas made speech in which he expressed his best wishes for the prosperity of Brazil and her pres ident. concluding with Brazil God bless you forevermore" The presi dent responded with a thousand wishes for the good voyage for the fleet. prosperity for the United States and the health of President Roosevelt.

The German cruiser Bremen. which has been here for some time. and was recently ordered to remain until the departure of the fleet, to give the German officers additional time tp make observations, left today with the American ships.
 Commenting on the departure of the fleet, the Journal of Commerce today said: "The great procession will soon be set into motion; the fleet will be on its way again: in the few days of it's stay. friendships have been made and sympathies won, which will have a far reaching effect in the years to come.
