Presidential Headquarters, Palace
Hotel, San Francisco-(A. P)-Pre-
sident Harding passed his best
night, comparatively, since he has
been," Brigadier General Sawyer, his
personal physician, said in a state
ment at eight o'clock this morning.
The president, enthusiastically calm
and determined is fighting the
greatest battle in his career, a
struggle in which his life is at stake.
Arrayed against him was broncho-
pneumonia symptoms, which were
discovered by attending physicians
last night, and also the danger of
other complications. Arrayed in his
favor was his calm determination,
trouble and the hopes, and the
was his admittedly weakened physical
resistance.
Condition Shows Improvement
President Harding appeared today
to have won his first preliminary
skirmish in his fight against broncho-
pneumonia and it's attending compli-
cations, the official bulletin issued
by the five attending physicians re-
ported. There has been no extension
of pneumonia areas; his heart action
is definitely improved, and he has
been benefited by a fairly comfort
able night with considerable restful
sleep and expressed himself feeling
better, and less exhausted; tempera-
ture at 9 a. m. one hundred, about
degree under yesterdays; pulse
120, five under yesterdays; respira-
tiOn forty and regular, cOntrasted
with Al and irregular yesterday.
General Sawyer stated to the As
sociated Press early this afternoon,
"I am glad to report to you that
the presidents condition, as cited in
the morning bulletin, is still hold
ing favorably." Unofficial word from
the presidents chamber said that the
next consultation of the attending
physicians has been called for four
o'clock this afternoon and will be
followed by a formal statement from
the doctors about five o'clock. Con-
fidence expressed by the spokesman
that the hopeful tone g the morn
ing statement will be reiterated in
the afternoon bulletin, is gaining
strength.
