HARDING s TRIP
! TO Be G|VFN UP
continued from Page One,

that bulletins giving the presidents
condition would be issued regularly
for the information OF the public and
some time today. possibly after an
other meeting of the physicians. a
bulletin was expected containing a
diagnosis OF the presidents case.
The real cause OF the executives
illness. as explained yesterday by DR..
Sawyer, lies In some crabs he ate
aboard the naval transport Hender-
son Just before reaching Vancouver,
q. c. These crabs, in the opinion of
DR.. Sawyer. were copper tainted or.
like sea food taken from several
small areas of Alaskan waters, had
become impregnated with copper from
the deposits OF that mineral along
the coast lines. Eating these crabs
gave the president a touch Of
ptomaine poisoning from which he
seemed to be recovering until his
visit to Seattle last Friday. The
exertion caused by the strenuous
program he followed there aggravated
the poisoning. and the disorder be
came more serious than before.
The real Saturday as tho presi-
Dental train Travelled through south
ern Oregon and northern California
also worked to hinder recovery. He
got a fair nights sleep Saturday night
aboard tho train. and on arriving
hero yesterday morning walked from
the train 10 an automobile looking
remarkably improved. although no
ticeably weak and pale. For several
hours after arrival at the hotel all
seemed to go well but late in the af.
ternoon the new symptoms indicating
complications. spoken OF by DR.. Saw
yer in his bulletin, became notice.
able.
Although Mr.. Harding's illness at
the present stage is o comparable
at all with that OF President Wilson
during his League OF Nations tour In
1919. there is somewhat OF n colnci'
dence between the two. President
Wilson continued with his trip to
wichita, Knns.. before abandoning 1t,
but the first evidences OF the immi'
nent breakdown became slightly no
ticeable to those closest to him here
IN San Francisco.
San Francisco demonstrated yes

that as a city she is equally willing
q act either as n host OF n nurse
The city had been preparing to act as

the abandonment OF the Yosemite trip
and che arrival OF the president here
she became a nurse. Her citizens
