Wichita, Kan, Sept. 27.-President
Wilson Cancelled the remainder OF ms
tour under orders from admiral Cary
I. Grayson, the presidents physician,
and will return to Washington direct
from Wichita. Admiral Grayson gave
illness and physical exhaustion as the
reason for his action.
Although it was said there was
nothing critical about the presidents
condition, Doctor Grayson declared a
nervous reaction affecting his digestive
organs made suspension of his trip I'M
perative.
Mr., Wilson was i'll most of the night
and the decision to return at once to
the capital was reached just before
his train arrived in Wichita. The
president himself wanted to continue
his speaking program, but Doctor
Grayson would not permit it.
The presidential train did not pull
into the station at Wichita, where
large crowd was waiting to welcome
the president. He was to have spoken
here in the forenoon and at Oklahoma
City at night, and, although he wanted
to at least greet the people here,
Doctor Grayson would not permit him
to leave his private car.
Statement by TumuIty.
Secretary Tumulty issued the follow
| ing statement:
"The president has eXerted himself
too constantly and has been under such
strain during the last year and has
so spent himself without reserve on
this trip that it has brought on a
nervous action in his digestive or
gans.
Doctor Grayson, therefore, insists
upon the cancellation of his remaining
appointments and his immediate re-
| turn to Washington, Notwithstanding
the presidents earnest desire to COM
| plete his engagements"
Leaving Wichita at IL a. m after
stop of about two hours, the presi-
Dental special will reach Washington
| Sunday morning 1t will go by way
of Kansas City and st. Louis.
Tired by Speeches and Parades.
Although outwardly the president
had appeared to be standing well the
hard ordeal of more than three weeks
| of travel and speechmaking, it became
| known that for some days he had suf-
| fered from headache. He also has
been much fatigued by the confine-
ment 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.
| Mr. Wilson has made nearly 40
| speeches since he left Washington on
| September 3, and has spent all but
| about half a dozen nights on the train.
| Five addresses remained on his I'M
| completed schedule. He was to have
spoken at Little Rock and Memphis
| and in Louisville, returning to Wash
| ington Tuesday.
| 1t was declared by members of the
| presidents party that one of the or
| deals which seemed to be most try
| ing on his nerves has been the automo-
| bile parades through the cities he has
| visited. He has travelled many miles
! standing in his car and waving his
hat in response to the cheers of well
| come. This feature of the trip also ap-
son, who has accompanied him
| wherever he went, and who, during
| the past few days, has shown evil
dences of being anxious for the strain
to end.
A similar attack came to him last
| July, and he was indisposed for five
days. He had the influenza in Paris
last spring.
| He has engagements in New York
and Washington and the big labor
congress opening in Washington next
| Wednesday. The breakdown has upset
all his plans.
Senate Program Unchanged.
Washington, Sept. 27-The White
House was unadvised that the presi-
dent had decided on advice of his ply
stefan to cancel the remainder of his
| speeches, and the news was received
with the greatest interest there and
also at the capitol. Democratic and
Republican leaders in the senate said
the immediate return of the president
/ to Washington would not change the
senate program of considering the Ger
man peace treaty. News that he had
started home apparently caused little
surprise at the capitol, as many sena-
tors felt that sooner or later the long
speaking and travelling strain would
| affect Mr.. Wilson, strength.
