He is too sick a man for anything

his stay in federal prison.
Not a word could be obtained to-
day at the apartments in West Fifty

a trip to Bad Nauheim, Germany.
Reports were current that Morse
would sail away tomorrow, perhaps
on the Oceanic, having decided that

once. instead Of remaining here for a
week or ten days. as he at FIRST pro-
posed. Whether this report has any
foundation could not Be determined.
