WOODROW WILSON
 SLOWLY SINKIEG
Ccontinued from First Pase)

 One of those who called to leave Il card was former Minister Calderon of Bolivia.
 MT. Wilson was a great friend of Latin-America," MT. Caldoron said I've arc deeply distressed because of his serious condition His loss will be ours in no small degree. even as il will be yours in this country"
 The staff of the Argentine embassy called in a body to pay respects and leave cards.
 Through the weary stretches of the night, past the dangerous hours of the early morning, and so on into the full light of another day. the ex-president kept his grim visitor waiting outside the portal with an insistence that as- tonisbed even his physicians.
 A little rest, snatched fitfuily from the hours of darkness, helped to stay for the moment the hand that almost had extinguished the faint spark of his vitality. Those at watch by his bedside were encouraged by ever so little; but they did not dare believe there had been any real improvement. It appeared more than ever certain that the death of the war president was only a question of hours.
 So weakened was he, by full day and night to face with death, that there was scarce strength enough for him to open his eyes upon the sum- light of the new day. As his physi- clans assessed the results of the night and watched for any new changes as the day progressed, they appeared not entirely hopeless, but they plainly were convinced that only some unus, ual development could long delay the end.
 Throughout the night Dr. Grayson had remained almost constantly at the former presidents bedside. A soft light burned in the quiet chamber and a nurse tiptoed here and there, al- ways on watch. During a good part of the time Mrs. Wilson too was close beside her husband, bearing courage ously the strain of the long hours of her vigil.
 The remainder of the big house on $ street, to which Mir. Wilson retired from the White House, was dark and quiet after Dr. Grayson and his two colleagues, Drs. Ruffin and Fowler, had held their evening consultation of more than an hour and had announc- cd that the former president grad ually was losing ground.
 The only hope of h1s physicians was that there still might be energy enough in his broken constitution to ward off the languour under whose spell resistance at last would cease.
 There was littie tho medical men could do to help him in that fight. More than four years of illness had so facked his constitution that strong medicines and surgery would do moro harm than good. They could only watch and hope for the best.
 He is slowly ebbing away he said. He is brave man. He knows that life is ending"
 Mir. Wilson was conscious or par tially conscious, he added. frequently during the day and night that have elapsed since the crisis came. He said also that Mrs. Wilson was bear. ing the strain courageously."
 Secretary Herbert Hoover. who lives a few doors above the Wilson home, was the first of those who stopped this morning to leave a mes- sage of sympathy. X little later Cor dell Hull, chairman of the democratic national committee, came also to leave his card.
