MAY
MAKE STATEMENT
Many Conflicting Reports en-
Presidents Condition Cause
Of Conference of Doctors.
Rv United Press

BY United Press
WASHINGTON. oct. 1S. - The
question OF making public a detailed
diagnosis of Pres't Wilson's condi-
tion to set at rest the various reports
that have been circulated. was to
be discussed by DR.. Cary T. Grayson,
DR.. Sterling Ruffin and DIR. f. T.
Stitt at their regular conference this
morning. Grayson said he would
take up the proposition with his
colleagues. There was a chance
however, that the other doctors
would not consent TO make such a
statement, on the ground that no
attention should be paid to rumors.
The doctors have agreed not to talk
individually about the presidents
case, it was learned, and any ques-
tions as 10 Wilson'S condition must
be taken up by all of them together.
Lid On.
The lid was down more closely
than usual on unofficial reports
from the sick room last night and
early today. 1t was understood that
Wilson went through the same
routine as usual, listening to the
photograph and hearing poems read
by Mrs Wilson. il is doubtful if he
has been told that a number of i'm
portant bills are awaiting his sigma
ture, including the war time prOhi-
bition enforcement measure and the
amendments 10 the food control act
giving the government power 10
prosecute profiteers. Grayson has
intimated he will not bring state
business to Wilson's attention un-
less it is absolutely necessary. Even
without the presidents signature the
bills become laws after 10 days.
Discussion of rumOr that WilOn
will be i'll so long. it will be neces-
sary 10 have his work delegated 20
someone else, probably the vice pres
ident. at least emporarily. was one
OF the principal topics Of converse
tion around the government build
ings today Many believed that if
the presidents condition was as
serious as that, his physicians would
take the initiative in informing the
country OF it, instead Of letting
things run along until the question
is opened up in congress.

Pour Into Headquarters.

With $4,000 pledged before the

with interest in the campaign at a

! first lap of the race to raise $780,
900 declared they would have the

Every factory. store and school
volunteer organization set about col
lecting the money that is 10 be used
in defraying the expense Of the
various charitable institutions dur
ing the coming year. The prelim-
mary work was we'll and carefully
laid out, and as a result the hun
dreds Of workers set about their
task unhampered by detail or red
tape.
In many of the larger plants
| plans have been completed where
by those employed may give a stipu-

period of time.
One of the amazing developments.

Every Fund Helped.
Early cards hat began scattering

another surprise in the fact that the
I donations are broadly spread over
/ the entire area OF charities. Com
mite chairmen were at first prone
] 10 believe that some Of the better

the lions share of benefit, but the
cards received to date show that such
charities as the American Jewish
Relief fund and the Armenian and
Syrian Relief are receiving their
proportionate share Of support. This
phase of the drive is especially en-
oouraging TO Chairman Warde l.

forms Of charity and does not con-
fine the giving too much TO any spe-
cial fund
Every day during the coming
