WILSON IN BETTER
 HEALTH
Denial By the White House of Alarming Reports Given Out By the Delegation of League Independents to Whom He Spoke Yesterday.

Washington, Oct. 2s - Whatever impression gained by the delegation of supporters of the League of Ma tions received by President Wilson that their statement on the presidents physical condition represented their oown conclusions only.
 Secretary Tumulty was emphatic in pointing out that the formal state ment of the delegat ton headed by Hamilton Holt must not be regarded as sponsored by the White House.
 Admiral Grayson, the presidents physician, was equally positive in declaring that the president avs he was first taken i'll. When Admiral Grayson read the comments of the delegation which said 'it was nothing less than tragic that the great presI- dent of the United States should have been brought to such a stricken phy- sicaI condition" he declared the inn provement in the presidents health, while slow. had been steady and without relapse. In answer to the comment of the delegation. that his presidents final appeal to the con- science of his countrymen in the su' preme moral decision that they are called upon to make,' Admiral Gray son asserted that the president show
 ed absolutely no iI1-effects from the Nl9lI oI IIIo uCiOSoSloii VI e1i0 o|he1Ai of his speech to them. He added thai the president came through the day in good shape.
 In view of the statement above re- | ferred to, it is considered significan | that Secretary Tumu1ty said today l that startling developments in tht campaign might be looked for. Thi: | was taken by those at the White House to mean that the Democrati' 1 drive would be pushed with utmos lvigor in the few days before efectior | and that this drive might be assisted | by one or more important declara 1 tions from the president himself.
