New-York tribune., 1920-10-28

For many weeks past the Presidents
condition has worried Administration
officials, despite constantly reassuring
statements issued from the White
House. Very few persons have been
permitted to see the President since
his recovery" was heralded last spring
on the occasion of his first automobile
ride since he was stricken in Wichita.
Kan, in September, 1919, while on a
stumpng tour of the country on be-
half of the League Of Nations.
Reports that Mr. Wilson was suffer
ing from relapse have been repeated
frequently recently, and they were re-
ncwed tonight.
Grayson's Bulletin Reassuring
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, how
ever, issued another reassuring state
ment, designed to set them at rest.
Dr. Grayson declared the President
stood the ordeal of reading the lengthy
appeal to his fellow countrymen we'll
and that Mr.. Wilson never was in bet
ter health.
"The President went through the ex-
perience of greeting the delegation in
excellent shape" said DR.. Grayson.
"He never was in better health. He
showed no signs of fatigue from the
conference and seemed apparently in
better health than at any other time"
Admiral Grayson has continually as
serted that the President was getting
along az weii as any one recovering
from collapse such as Mr. Wilson
had could be expected, but high officials
of the Administration are making no
effort to conceal their fears.
The injunction of silence is being
strictly maintained by those VINO could
give tirst-hand information regarding
the Presidents condition, however, and
White House circles are standing upon
the statements issued by Dr. Grayson
from time to time.
The delegation of pro-league Repub-
licans and independents are the first
persons outside Of the Presidents clos
est official family who have bccn par
nitted to see him since Governor Cox
came to Washington and neid his
memorable talk with Mr.. Wilson.
Signs of Paralysis Noted

Wilson since before his collapse. They
said that he appeared to have aged
greatly and that he showed every indi-
