Mr.. Sherman Has Been Given up by

For Death

Through, But He Grows

UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 30.--yIce Presie
dent James s. Sherman was reported
to have passed fairly quiet night by
DIR. Beck this morning, but his condi-
ton was admittedly so precarious the
physician would not make any predic-
ton regarding the outcome. It is
known that members OF the family are
prepared for the death OF the Vice
president at any time and that while
he may ultimately fight Off his malady
and recover, the spread OF uremic
poisoning has disheartened the physic-
ians, who fear that his case Is hope
less.
1t was stated at 9 o'clock that the
distinguished patient was sleeping as
the result Of the administration OF
an opiate and that If there was any
change at all from last night he was
weaker. He got no natural rest last
night and because OF the pain from
the kidney complication 1t will be
necessary to keep him under drugs
most of today
So far as the doctors are concerned
they have privately abandoned hope
for their patient but publicly say there
is slight chance that he will get
well. But he is gradually growing
weaker and his death is expected with
IN very short time.
The Vice president continued In q
fsems-oonscious condition. throughout
the morning His temperature was
normal but his pulse was unusually
rapid. The physicians said that he
was doing as well as could be ex-
pected.
Shortly after / O'clock this after
noon 1t was announced that Sherman
had lapsed into a sleep that was akin
| to unconsciousness. The physicians
maintained that there was no serious
change since morning, when 1t was
admitted that death was near Mt hand
1t appeared to be question of hours,
as the doctors said 1t was impossible
to give any definite prediction.
Vice President Sherman this after
noon lapsed into condition OF coma
and his death may occur at any mo-
ment
This was announced after formal
bulletin from the bedside of the strick-
en- man stated that his condition was
desperate
The last hope that the vice presi-
dent might improve, at least slightly,
was shattered when the involved con.
dition Of his kidneys failed to respond
to remedial measures and 1t was an
nounced uremea had laid deadly hold
on the patient
Hypodermic injections had been
employed throughout the day to ease
the vice presidents suffering and this
together with the ravages of Brights
disease has produced a condition of
complete unconsciousness Sherman
may survive this afternoon Or he may
die at any moment.
DR.. Peck at the vice presidents
bedside issued this formal state.
ment: ia
Vice President Sherman is gradu-
ally failing. The end will probably
come tonight or tomorrow, 1t may be
fully twenty-four hourse hence. Mr..
Sherman has been unconscious prac-
tically all of the time since yesterday
afternoon. He went to sleep at about
o'clock yesterday afternoon and has
been practically in a comatose state
ever since"

OYSTER BA Oct 30.-Detective
William j. Burns was a luncheon
guest Of Colonel Roosevelt today and
will act as his personal guard on the
trip to New York and during the
speech making at Madison Square
Garden tonight. Colonel Roosevelt
stated today that the progressives
have engaged Burns and his detective
agency to guard the polls In New
York city on election day.
In addition the colonel said that
former District Attorney William
Travers Jerome had been commission
ed to represent the progressives in
court on election day and to prosecute
all frauds reported by the Burns oper-
atives.
Mr.. Burns will be told by me that

welt. II want people to know that we
are going to prosecute all kinds OF
fraud up to the limit and that any
man who commits fraud will be put
behind the bars by US. We will have
no repetition of the spring primaries.
Those who attempt frauds will have
to deal with the Burns men, whom we
will have at the polls assisted by sew.

direction of Mr.. Jerome. In Mr.. Burns

There Is additional reason at this
time for protection. Instead of the

was supporting In this campaign did
not enter into his engagement We

Roosevelt was in fine shape today
and declared that he expected to have
