DENY SENATOR PENROSE
TOO SICK FOR POLITICS
Friends of Statesman Asert He Will
Be at Chicago with
Bells On"

Senator Penrose's friends here en-
phsticaIIy deny published statements
that the Senator's physical condition
was such that he might never return
to active service in the Senate, ana
certainly would not attend the Re
publican National Convention in Chi
cago.
At Senator Penrose's office It was
stated that in a telephone converse
tion with employees in the Senator's
Philadelphia office employees OF his
Washington office were told that Mr..
Penrose was feeling unusually well,
and that his condition was encour-
aging.
Members OF the Senator's Washing
ton office staff said that they had not
received the slightest intimation that
Mr. Penrosc's condition was alarming
or that he would be unable to return
to the Senate or to go to Chicago.
A private telegram received here
quoted DR.. Penrose, the Senator's s
brother, as saying that the published
reports were untrue, and that the Sen
ator would be at the Chicago con-
vention with bells on"
Senator France of Maryland, who
saw Senator Penrosc in Philadelphia
last Friday. said that at that time
he appeared in good health. Others
said that they knew Mr. Penrose was
not in tiptop physical condition. but
understood that his recent trip South
had benefited him, and that he was
remaining away from Washington
only because II he came here instant
demands on his time and strength
might overtax him.

Some weeks ago there were pre-

Both sides are preparing for

setback, If not a mortal blow. The
Hooverites are especially active. keen
