Tha consultation late today was
bri.f DR.. Buffin and Dr. SUIT peihs
nt the White House but short tilne'
Alto gether the impression was gam
ed tonight that the President was hoia-
s;rq his own. He was kept in bed all
Goy. The fact that DR.. Grayson was
M, summoned again is taken as
honeful sign. DR.. Grayson Will con
fer with him as necessary over inc
telephone. ,,,
The President proved a more amen
alb patient today than heretofore 1t
was learned. Although unwilling up
tn MS time to concede that ne. mas
baen in a serious condition, he mas
been persuaded that it is aDsolu'eiy
necessary for him to rest and ria MS
mind of executive problems. he was
more willing to acquiesce IN thls touay
tDl
Details of the affairs OF the coun'
try are being kept from him as much
as possible. He was told OF the oe-
feat in the Senate of the Fal amend
ments yesterday, and this news appear
ed to give him cheer
The difficulty which both the doc
tors and the President himself e1per
fence in resting his mind was again ap-
narent today. He is mentally Keen
and active and asks many questions
Some of these the doctor thinks must
be answered or the President would
worry still more. At the same time
Dr. Grayson is all the time intent on
keeping his mind free from all Off
cial bus ness.
Rumors of an impending operation
on the President spread through
Washington today But DR.. Grayson
mas tod newspaper correspondents
that no operation was contemplated at
this time, and that if an operation
we're contemplated this would not be
kept secret. One theory today was
that there might be an operation on
the Presidents nose to remove pol
yphus growth.
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, who was Miss
JESSIE Wilson, arrived at the White
House tonight from Cambridge. Mrs.
William G. McAdoo, formerly Miss
Eleancr Wilson, came earlier from
New York Miss Margaret Wilson.
the youngest daughter of the Presi-
dent. is already here, and his broth
er Joseph Wilson of Baltimore, also
came to the capital today.
