ARGENTINE RULER
 REPORTED SICK
Yrigoyen Confined to Bed-
 Situation Still Tense

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sept. 7 P-Under a calm. apparently nor nal surface this city seethed today with expectancy of trouble. born or many rumors of extraordinary measures for safety taken by the government during the night, A total absence of official an nouncement of any kind made way for the most ertravagant stories. The obvious nervousness in govern ment circles has created ths gen. cral feeling that unexpected events may already have occurred.
 Today it was the sudden illness of President Hipolito Yrigoyen that caused disquiet chiefly. When the president absented himself entirely from his office yesterday he was said to have suffered an attack of influenza on Sunday night and con- fined to bed with a temperature of 1O1.3.
 Rumors of his removal from the presidential residence followed an apparent relaxation of police and military activity In that neighbor- hood.

 "I did it. am still doing it and the reaults have already justified my course. What is Senator Nye going to do about it?"
 The nominee said she had cooper ated in every way with the Wye con- mittee by submitting a detailed re- port - the most complete statement ever submitted to senate commit tee by a candidate"
 Meanwhile" Mrs. Mccormick continued, after the Chicago hear ing took place last July. and while was assisting the committee in ! every way possible, what took place ? Prosecution became persecution My offices were broken into and my personal and business correspond- ence files were riflcd, Spies invaded my living headquarters.
