WILSON'S ILLS
CAUSE DOUBT
Democratic Leaders are
in Dark AS to Real
State of Presidents
Health.
PUBLIC SOON TO KNOW.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is
increasing in Washington regarding
the actual condition Of President
Wilson's health as the time approach
es when he must either demonstrate
that he can keep his place as leader
Of the Democratic party or relinquish
it.
The idea that he may be a third
term candidate is laughed at by some
Democratic leaders, but the POSSIBLE
ity that he may take q hand in the
campaign to the extent Of designating
fsvorite candidate is considered so
strong that ii admittedly is holding
back Democratic aspirants.
The Presidents exact condition. Of
course. is unknown except to DR..
Grayson and members Of his immedi-
ate household. The fact that no bull
letins are issued and all attaches have
adopted a policy Of saying nothing
keeps the ground fertile for crops Of
rumors that come up over night like
mushrooms
Members Of the Cabinet have seen
the President several times and testi-
fy that his old mental alertness is the
same as ever. IL is understood. how
ever, that he already is seated at his
place at the table when Cabinet mem
bers begin entering the room.
The public has seen Wilson repeat
eddy in his motor rides since the
weather became moderate. Fleeing
glimpses Of him as he rides past in
his open touring car seem to indicate
that he looks better than when he
first came out Of absolute seclusion.
Delay in the Presidents seeing Sir
Auckland Geddes. the new British
Ambassador. after It had been ex.
pected he would be given an early
audience, is causing comment and
new suggestions in Washington.
While in the White House the
President remains practically all the
time in tina, part which is the ''hC.ne"
part or in the study and his amuse-
ments still consist. il is understood. Of
occasional motion pictures. But he
sees his secretary, Joseph r Tumulty.
frequently now, and is said to be
keeping in close touch with political
developments.
II President Wilson is to plunge in
to the political campaign. il must be
apparently within a month or six
weeks from now, 50 that period is ex-
peeted to clear up many Of the doubts
and rumors that have eenturei
around the White House since the
President returned. IN. from his
