NO DOUBT OF RECOVERY

p. Morgan & Co, was resting com
fortably in Roosevelt Hospital this
morning following an operation which
was performed yesterday morning to
relieve the pressure on his brain
caused by the formation of tumor on
the brain tissues. The latest bulletin
regarding the condition of the financier
was issued last night at II o'clock by
DR.. James H. Kenyon, assistant to
DR.. Charles A. Elsberg. who had
charge of the operation. 1t said:
Mr.. II. P. Dawson is resting easily
He is sleeping very comfortably.
Everything is very satisfactory. Fur
ther, information will be given out in
an official bulletin tomorrow morn
| ing"
Mr.. Dawson awakened from a doze
\ about five minutes before this state
ment was given out by DR.. Kenyon.
| The financier dropped asleep soon after
he had recovered from the effects of
the anaestnetic and slept at intervals
during the afternoon. The last official
bulletin signed by the six surgeons WI 0
assisted in the operation was Issued at
$50 o'clock and said
Mr.. II. r. Dawson. who has had
signs of involvement of one auditory
nerve and an increase of intracranial
pressure, was operated upon this morn
ing by DIR. Charles A. Elsberg. 'rhe
pressure was relieved. Should it be-
come necessary a subsequent operation
may be performed in the region Of the
auditory nerve. No unexpected conli-
| tions were disclosed at the operation.
| MIR. Dawson bore the anaesthetic
well, recovered consciousness in the
early afternoon and his general condi-
! tion is good.

Outlook Is Cons:dered Good.
No statements we're given out at The
hospital after midnight concerning Mr.
Davison's condition, but it was learned
that the doctors at the institution con-
sidered that the outlook continued very
satisfactory and that they do not anti
cipate any serious Developments 1t
was said that there was no doubt OF
the recovery OF Mr.. Dawson. although
Ii will necessarily be slow because Of
the serious nature of his illness.
The situation last night. however. was
considered so favorable that J. =. Nor
gan, head Of the Morgan firm. announced
/ \, IL, ata
ship Olympic for Europe, voyage which
he had postponed from last week owing
to Mr.. Davison's Illness. Mr.. Morgan
went TO the hospital early yesterday
morning, soon after the surgeons began
to operate. and remained there until Mr..
Dawson had been taken from the oper-
atng room to his bed.
The surgeons began working upon Mr..
Dawson about . o'clock and about three
hours and a half later the operation
was suspended for the time being be-
cause of the profuse bleeding which had
followed the opening OF the skull and the
exploration OF the tissues by which the
surgeons hoped to remove the numerous
growth from the brain.
DR. Tilney said at that time. however.
that the pressure had been almost en-
tireIy relieved and that any subsequent
operation which might be necessary to
complete the removal of the tumor would
not cause any apprehension.
4 II probably will not be known for
some days whether the second operation
will be necessary. II will be decided by
conference Of surgeons who are fa-
miliar with the financier's condition and
/ the progress made while he was on the
operating table yesterday.
Rcgains consciousness Quickly.
\ While the continuous application OF an
anaesthetic for more than three hours
was a tremendous strain on Mr.. Davi-
