The European crisis and Mary
lands march to the polls were
Subordinated in President Roose-
velt'S mind temporarily as he
visited st. Mary's Hospital as fre-
quently as the doctors would per
nit.
The family was extremely en-
couraged by the successful nature
of the operation for removal of a
large gastric ulcer and particularly
relieved to get definite assurances
that the growth was not cancerous.
Mr.. Roosevelt was remaining in
Rochester at least until Tuesday
and possibly longer. He made no
plans for returning to Hyde Park.
In between visits to the hospital,
the President studied reports from
the State Department in Wash
ingon relaying latest information
on the war crisis engendered by
Hitler's threat to annex a portion
of CZechoslovakia and Britain's
warning that she would resort to
arms if Germany actually moved.
WATCHES ELECTION
Tonight reports will be coming
over the wires to the presidential
special train, parked temporarily
on a siding, on the results of the
Maryland Democratic primary, in
which Mr.. Roosevelt took an active
part.
DR.. Howard Gray, who per-
formed the hour-and-three-quarters
operation on young Roosevelt
yesterday, advised the President
that while the picture was ZEN
tirely satisfactory" the coming few
days would constitute the big
hurdle because of possible compli-
cations. Jim's youth and rugged
physique were expected to stand
him in good stead against this
danger, however.
Last night the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt and James wife,
the former Betsy Gushing, paid a
last-minute call at the hospital.
They found the husky young
patient still logey from the ef-
fects of the anaesthetic but never
theless alert enough to squeeze
his fathers hand with a twinkle
in his eye. At the moment James
was suffering from an attack Of
hiccoughs.

amounted to 1912, 900 while the
estimates Of departments financed
by the highway fund totaled
