NO HOPE HELD OUT
FOR RECOVERY Of
NEVADA SENATOR
Mrs. Nixon and Son Racing
With Death From Home
in West.

Hope for the recovery of Senator
George s. Nixon OF Nevada, now at the
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hos
pital in this city, has practically been
abandoned. His end is expected at any
minute. 1t was reported enormously
yesterday that the Senator was suffer-
ing from blood poisoning following a
nasal operation, but II is now known
that the real cause of trouble Is spinal
meningitis.
This is the unfavorable report sent
from his bedside this morning by the
physicians who realize that his death
Will be but question of time, and who
are doing everything possible to prolong
life just as many more minutes as med
ical science will permit.
Speeding across the continent in the
most direct and quickest route are Mrs.
Nixon and Bertram Il. Nixon, their
son, who are literally racing with death
and who Will try to reach Washington
before the millionaire legislator suc-
combs from the attack of spinal men,
ingitis which appeared a few days ago.
Physicians at the hospital say that the
wife and son will lose in the race. The
train from Reno, the Nixon Nevada
home, is making close connections, and
idhi odu pIeslueHtS nave issued ORDERS
to train officials to assist In every way
In getting the pair to Washington at
the earliest possible moment. The train
left Reno yesterday morning. Not TN
Ill Saturday will Mrs. Nixon and young
Nixon, heir to his fathers millions,
arrive here. They were not informed
OF Senator Nixon's condition until his
physicians determined II was serious.
The Nevada statesman rs unconscious
and has been for several hours. The
physicians believe that life will be pro-
longed to greater extent should he
remain in this condition than other
wise would be the case. They, there
fore, are doing but little to revive him.
Dwight V. Jones, the Senator's private
secretary, Is at the hospital, where he
has been since yesterday morning, when
II was definitely learned that Mr..
Nixons illness was critical. Mr.. Jones
has been kept busy for the last eighteen
hours, answering telephone calls and
kilograms from the thousands of friends
and associates of Senator Nixon. who
are anxious to receive hourly reports of
his condition.
Senator Nixon entered the hospital
Thursday, and an operation for nasal
trouble WAS performed. This had been
recommended months before. Immedi-
ately after the operation, meningitis de-
"eloped, and 1t was impossible to either
relieve or check the malady. The best
physicians of this city and Baltimore
were called In, and they have been at
his bedside for the last thirty-six hours.

AUTOMOBILE CLUBS
ENDURANCE TOUR
COVERS 436 MILES
Official Pathhnders Make
Successful Trip Over
Course.
BY HARRY WARD.

The route Of the Washington Automo-
bile Clubs endurance run, June II to
13. will be 436 miles. This was deter
mined by the official pathfinders, who
returned yesterday from a trip over the
course to be followed by the con-
testants
The first days run, Washington to
Harrisburg. with noon control at Ha-
gerstown, will be $40 miles. and Is over
fairly good roads. although there are
some long mountain roads to negotiate
The second days run will be to Phila-
delphia, via Reading and Allentown,
the noon stop being in the latter town.
The distance Is 142 miles, and the run
will be the most enjoyable of the series.
The roads are good and the scenery de-
lightful. The last leg of the journey,
Philadelphia to Washington, via VIII
mington, Havre de Grace and Baltimore
is 154 miles, and is marked by several
stretches of bad road The noon con-
troll will be in Havre de Grace, instead
of Belair, as originally intended. the
accommoda tions in the latter place not
being ample to care for the large num-
Der of persons who will participate in
the tour.
In Harrisburg and Philadelphia the
tourists will be entertained by the motor
clubs of those two cities. Motorists in
other cities through which the tour will
pass will also extend countesies to the
tourists
Upon their arrival in Washington last
evening the pathfinders We're met by a
delegation of motorists, among whom
were Leroy Mark, of the Touring Ciup
Of America Gordon r. Cowie, Robert
II. Martin, G. JIaskins Mrs. u. r.
Cowie, and others. They ploted the
purple Cole pathfinder through the city
to the Municipal building, where the
trip was officially ended, and where the
final speedometer figures We're taken.

mile grind over mountain roads, through
stretches of sand. and over the smooth
boulevards without a mark being regis
tered against 1t. Cleveland Campbell,
the driver. was delighted with the cars
