RESENT THE WILSON RUMORS
Presidents Physicians Refuse to Make
Amy Comment on Story of
Cerebral Lesion.

ashilgton--While President VIII
son is believed by his physicians to
be on the road to recovery. the pro-
cess will be slow and tedious The
President, it was reiterated recently
at the White House, must resign him
self to strict observance of the physi-
clans orders to put aside all thought
OF his office while conYalescing, and
remain in bed until danger OF a relapse
has passed.
The Presidents physicians continue
to confine themselves to terse bulle-
tins twice day as far as the public is
concerned. That, they are satisfied
with the progress their patient is max
ing is apparent from the spirit Of op-
timism that pervades the White House
and the resentment with which vari-
Gus rumors as to the Presidents
''real' condition are met by White
House officials.
The President was said by officials
to have spent quiet and restful Sun
day although somewhat depressed be-
cause of a drilling rain which be-
gan to fall in the night and continued
all day
Mrs. Wilson again spent a part CT
the day reading to him as has been
her daily custom since his illness, and
strains from the talking machine in
the sick room could be heard at inter
walls
Doctor Grayson and the other physi-
clans have adopted a policy of stand
ing pat on their bulletins, and will
not even comment on the daily crop
of rumors concerning the President
that spring up over night.
Doctor Grayson said recently he
would not comment on the published
letter written by Senator Moses of
New Hampshire, to a constituent, say
ing that the President had a brain
lesion. Doctor Grayson explained that
he would not deny the statement be-
cause he would not depart from his
policy of standing on his official bulle-
tins and refusing to discuss the Presi-
dents case further than the informa-
ton contained in the bulletins.
