Sta. Admiral Grayson gave illness and
physical exhaustion as the reason for his
action.
Although there was said to be nothing
serious about the presidents condition,
Admiral Grayson declared nervous re
action affecting his digestive organs
made suspension of the trip imperative.
The president was i'll most of last
might and the decision to return at once
TO the capital was reached just before
his train arrived in Wichita. The presi-
dent himself wanted to continue his
speaking program, but DIR, Grayson
would not permit.
The presidents address which was to
have been delivered at the Forum build
ing this morning was cancelled. The
presidential train did not pull into the
station at Wichita, where large crowd
was waiting to welcome the president.
Although he wanted to at least greet the
people here, DIR. Grayson would not per
init him to leave his private car.
Secretary Tumulty issued the follow
Sng statement:
"The president has exerted him
self so constantly and has been pn
der such strain during the last
year and has so spent himself with
out reserve on this trip that it has
brought on a nervous reaction in his
digestive organs.
Or Grayson, therefore, insists
upon the cancellation of his remain
ing appointments and his immediate
return to Washington notwithstand-
ing the presidents earnest desire to
complete his engagements.
Leaving Wichita at II o'clock to-day
after stop of about two hours, the
presidential special will reach Washing
ton Sunday morning. 1t will go by way
of Kansas City and st. Louis.
Although outwardly the president had
appeared to be standing well the hard
ordeal of more than three weeks of trav-
el and speechmaking it became known
so-day that for some days he had suf-
fered from headaches He also has been
lnuch fatfgued by the confinement of his
special train, interrupted only by brief
stops which have been spent mostly in
riding through crowds and speaking to
audiences so large as to require all his
exertion to make his voice heard.
He has made nearly 40 speeches since
he left Washington Sept. 3, and spent
all but about five nights on the train
Five addresses remained on his un.
completed schedule After the two to-
day, he was to have spoken in Little
Rock and Memphis tomorrow, and
Louisville Monday morning, returning to
Washington on Tuesday.
1t was declared by members of the
party that one of the ordeals which
seemed to be most trying on his nerves
bias been the automobile parades through
the cities he has visited He has trav.
,eled many miles standing in his car and
waving his hat in response to the cheers
