ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILL
SONS SPECIAL TRAIN, Sept 81
President Wilson, returning to Wash
ington in a state of nervous exhaus-
ing tour, was described today as feel
ing about the same" after night in
which he was able TO get considerable
rest.
Just before the presidential special
reached indianapolis late in the after
noon. Dr.. Cary T. Grayson, Mr.. Will
sons personal physician, issued the
following bulletin:
The presidents condition is about
the same. He has had a fairly rest
full night" Signed: Grayson.
This was all the physician cared
to add to his statement last night in
which he said Mr.. Wilson's indisposi-
ton was not alarming although a con
siderable period of rest would be ne
cessary to his recovery.
1t was learned. however, that the
president had slept during much OF
the night and until late in the morn
ing. He had been more or less rest
less in the evening and DR.. Grayson.

spent the night in an adjoining room
on the private car, Mayflower, did not

Can't Leave Bed
1t was thought likely that Mr. Viii
son would not be permitted to leave
his bed during the day. in view of DR..
Grayson's rest prescription. That he
was able to get some sleep was inter
preted as a good omen, the evident
concern of those nearest him being to
get his mind away from the subject
which has occupied his energies dur
ing recent months.
Besides DR.. Grayson. Mrs. Wilson
was in constant attendance upon the
president during the night, and again
today. She also was able to get some
rest, however, and seemed refreshed
from the apparent strain of the last
few days.
The train arrived at Indianapolis at
| 1921 and left at 1851.
His special train shunted off from
its original schedule yesterday noon
at Wichita. Kas.. was routed direct for
the capital and had the right of way
| for a continuous run at the greatest
speed consistent with absolute safety
! It crossed the Mississippi at ST. Louis
early in the day and was TO be we'll
across Ohio by nightfau. 1t is due at
Washington tomorrow morning.
The Presidents illness, although
! brought to a head by his exerdon on
his speaking tour. is ascribed by DR..
Grayson in large part to the attack of
influenza from which Mr.. Wilson suf
| fered last April in Paris.
On that occasion he was confined
to bed for several days. but he contin-
ued his conferences with the other
members OF the Big Four, consult
ing with them at his bedside about
critical problems of the peace negotia-
! tiOns.
May Welcome Albert.
Although Secretary Tumulty an
rounced that all OF the Presidents s
appointments in the near future had
been cancelled, it became known that
Mr.. Wilson still believed he might be
able to go to New York next Friday
to welcome King Albert Of Belgium
Other members of the party thought
it likely that the plan would be aban-
doned, however. and that the greeting
W would take place instead at Washing
ton.
Whether the President will leave
Washington for the rest Dr. Grayson
has prescribed, will not be determined
Immediately. He will at least remain
at the White House for a few DAYS.
and it may be decided that the isola-
ton desired can be secured there bet.
