DR.. w. G. Lyle.
The Vienna dispatch OF Friday. de
claring that DR.. Struempell. the distin-
guished Austrian specialist, diagnosed
Mr. Harriman's complaint as cancer
was shown to DR. McGniness last night
al his rectory.
Il never heard cancer mentioned by
any member OF the family. said the
clergyman. I do not know whether
or not DR.. Struempell acquainted Mt
Hartman with his diagnosis.
Judge Robert 5. Lovett, considered
/ Mr.. Harrimans chief business and le-
gal adviser. thus explained today for
the first time his policy OF silence
which bairled all seekers after infor
nation regarding alr Harriman's con
diuon:
~AIr. Harrimans life was SO inter
woven with wall street and financial
affairs that any. change in his oondi
tion would have affected the financial
world. I thought il advisable not e
/ run the danger Of misrepresentation
and so said nothing about his condt
ton. Any statement one way or the
other would have been misender
stood.

yesterday after Mr.. Harriman's death
did not 10 to New York until late yes
