When word of the presidents ILL
ness reached Wichita, many people
rode in automobiles to the remote spot
were the special train was parked.
Secret service agents formed a Gordon
about the private car and refused to
permit any one TO approach it. They
also made the people maintain silence
so the president would not be dis
turbed.
The president issued a statement to-
day of the facts with regard to the
Shantung settlement which he has al
ready stated in several of his speeches.
He said he had intended to devote his
Wichita speech largely TIC Shantung. so
issued a statement instead.
. Wilson was still up and about his
private car shortly before noon, altho
it was possible that Doctor Grayson
might order him to bed If his condi-
ton showed no improvement. Mrs.
Wilson was with him constantly.
1t was expected Grayson would
make a statement later in the day Civ
ing an exact diagnosis of the presi-
dents ailment.
The homeward trip will be made as
quietly as possible, avoiding crowds
wherever possible. The president re-
quires absolute rest. il was learned
