very hopefully of the statesman's ccu-

Senator Daniels condition sla4
more favorable Sunday morning than
at any time during the past ten - yH.
While ! would not like to say tAAA
crisis has ben passed, 1t looks aOEgS~
what that way. eN
THE physicians are among t14&5
mort capable la the South, and Ax&s
bang assisted by two excellent tn t
ed nurses. Everything that cpttI&
possibly be done Ii being dono ks
the doctors. nurses and this nenAteN
OF Senator Daniels family. 1fxxsa
Daniel and the other relatives afN
receiving letters, <slegrams and anteAS
OF sympathy FROM ali over the coaifi-
try.
Coma Not So Deep.
While Senator Daniel WAS In = ntn3
Sunday morning, 1t did not seem To-
be so deep or profund as 1t had 6tsN0l
during the preceding four days. W1en
the coma was deepest IT was necessary
for the nurses and physicians to wur1g
some moments to arouse Senator Dam
iei Even then his swallowing s.E0a
most difficult and he declined to fafa
milk. saying he did not like 1t. Dtring
the past two days. however. he hn91
been aroused with less difficulty. wiIl-s
ingly taken the noufishment oftered
him, called his wife's name once. recvx-
nized me by squeezes OF hts hand, En6
gained strength.
"The attending physicians did nnk'
venture a prediction OF complete recnv~
cry. They declared Senator Dan5e4'
might linger In his present conditions
for several days or many weeks. III
he fingers two or three weeks ntefs4]
will be taken to remove him 70 iiMs
home In Lynchburg. His condition " i4s
left, and DIR. Il. A. Waugh. Of I4ynch-
burg. who hurried to Daytona to atteRd
him. accompanied me.
Entire Left Side Affected.
Senator Daniel rests upon his baclk
and right side. the entire left side hay~
ing been paralyxed beyond any cOntf6G
on his part. From time to time his pu.s
sition IL shifted to rest him. Ice baf;0s
are kept constantly on his head t6S
keep down the fever. When ! 4k.st5
reached his bedside his tongue seentn{
to be paralyzed. but he has control Ove4S
ii when he becomes conscious To- ri
few seconds and speaks In whiogft1x
Throughout most OF the time n M99S
on his back with his eyes closed a. III
in very deep sleep. E
There seems some doubt a. XII
whether Senator Daniel has sufkeg9dz
cerebral hemorrhage. The doctors
seem to think n blood weasel III t&A
brain or an artery leading to the bT13U
has been broken. There 10 no talk ~
an operation. however. as Senator uaA
lei IL too weak for this to be thougMe3
of at this time. sss7
II believe there Is hope for SeuatUE&
Daniel. although the end may cor4e
almost any day His enduran0e t&l
sickness has been characteristic A111l
he may yet recover and return hcUn4
