A SIGNIFICANT THING

New York. Aug. 26-Much signifi-
canoe is attached to the visit of Or.
Norman e. Ditnan, an eminent Spe-
cialst in diseases of the kidneys, to E..
\ H. Hartman at Arden, N. Y. DR.. Lyle.
Mr. Ha1riman's personal PHI sician, and
members of his Il family, parsistently
have refused to make an authoritative
announcement Of the supposed malady
from which the railroad ma gnate ap-i
parently Is suffering.
t DR.. qDitnan, whose practise Is said to
be confined exclusively to the treatment
of kidney complaints, was called to the
Hartman estate, After a long inter-
view with Mr. Hartman he declined to
make any statement. He referred ques-
,tioners to Judge Robert S, I,ovett, vice
president and general counsel of the
Union Pacific. IF s555 F.
Judge Iexett manifested a disin-l
clnation to discuss Mr.. Harriman's
complaint or his condition. He would
say nothing more than that Mr.. Har-
rinan was no better and no worse.
DR. Lyle said the finnncier was in.
good spirits although still very@weals,"
but that he would recover strength
quickly.
Mr.. Hartman insists that his condi-i
ton is not serious and a.gperiod of rest
will enable him soon to resume his
