WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. - The Roosevelt Administration definitely turned away from Upton Sinclair yesterday, dropping unmistakable indications it does not care to have the former Socialist elected as Democratic Governor in Cali fornia.
 The letter from Democratic head quarters urging the election of Sin clair and carrying the signature of James A. Farley, Chairman of the Democratic Committee, is termed a mistake"
 The signature was affixed by a rubber stamp and it's dispatch is said to have been an error on the part of a minor employee.
 George Creel, runner-up to Sin clair in the State primaries, has withdrawn his support on the grounds Sinclair is not following the platform adopted by the Cali fornia State Democratic Conven- tion. [ Greet termed Sinclair's EPIC plan as optimism carried to a point of delirium"

BOCOCK CLAIMS
GALL|NGER At
CAPACITY
Without New Accommodations
INDECENT Sick Must Go
To Other Hospitals

Reporting that Gallinger Hospi.
tai has reached it's expansion ca
acity, having treated 1903
patients more during the fiscal
year 1884 than in the preceding
year, DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, super.
intendent of the municipal insti-
tuition, today declared that, If new
accommodations are not made
available, some of the INDECENT
sick will have to be sent to other
hospitals.
DR.. Bocock said the increase
was beyond the capacity of the
hospital to give adequate service.
The staff of physicians and
nurses, as we'll as bed space. is not
large enough to handle the in.
creasing number of patients.
Tells of Crowded Conditions
DR.. Bocock asserted:
"TO accommodate this rapidly
increasing number of sick in
dividuals it has been necessary
to reopen abandoned wards; to
cause small compartments to be
used for a larger number of
patients than originally in
tended, and to make shifts and
transfers not hitherto found
necessary or practicable.
I'm spite of these efforts much
unavoidable crOwding has been
present with the result that the
best possible nursing and pro-
feSSional care could not at all
times he rendered. However,
all patients seeking admission
have been received; no individ-
uaIs or groups in need of care
have been turned away, and the
essentials necessary in the way
of physical and mental therapy
have been made available to all
admissions"
DR.. Bocock pointed out that one
of the outstanding faults in the
hospitals systems of caring for
the INDECENT sick of the District is
the lack of a social service Or
ganization. Patients with cronic
illnesses who leave the hospital,
he said, are not sufficiently con-
trolled in regard to treatment af-
ter they leave the hospital. This
means, he stated, that they re-
lapse much sooner and must be
readmitted to the institution.
Would Pay for Itself
The institution superintendent
said the expense of maintaining
a suitable social service unit could
be met without additional ex-
penditures of money, as the say
ing that would result from keep
ing such patients we'll enough not
to require frequent disqualification
would more than make up for the
original expense of establishing
such a system and paying sal
aries.
During the year, 1901 cases
were admitted to the hospital, and
a total 1892 infants were born
there.
