HARDING 1 111 WITH PNEUMONIA (Continuea from First Page) growing out of the original ptomaine poisoning, and the president’s physical resistance, weakened by nearly 40 days and approximately 7,500 miles of traveling. The physician added grave- ly: “We are.running a very handi- capped machine.” The problem faced is to strengthen and repair the machine, or physique 80 as to combat the attacks. Dr. Baw- yer further explained. Some aid to this end was affordedgduring the hours of the night immedidtely after mid- night when the president fell asleep. Everything possible conducive to sleep was done. Nothing could have been more likely to bring sleep to a sick man than the scene which presented itself at one o’clock this morning. The corridor outside the presiden- tlal suite was unoccupied, except for one secret service man, who sat at the far end and two others who guarded the approach to it. Even the steady stream of tele- grams, expressing solicitude and hope for the executive's speedy recovery was temporarily shut off after a day in which the messages piled high on a desk in the secretary's office. These telegrams had been opened and read as soon as received, and although none ¥as made public, it was said they came from every state in the Union and from many forelgn countries. Partisanship was foygotten and the names signed to the messages includ- ed leaders in the democratic as well as the republican party. Pershing Worried Los Angeles, July 81.—Gen. John J. Pershing who is touring the citizens military training camps of the coun- try, just before leaving Los Angeles for San Diego early today said he was “‘extremely grieved and’' shocked to learn of the serious turn of President Harding’s illness.” “He {s my close friend and very much beloved,” said Gen. Pershing. “The nation will surely be in sus- pense until he is out of danger. The only thing for Americans to do in this anxious hour is to hope and pray for his speedy recovery.” y Fngland Opncerned By The Associated Press. London, July 31.—President Hard- ing's illness is attracting sympathetic interest here dnd reports of his con- dition are displayed prominently by the newspapers. His record is familiar to the Brit- ish public through the newspapers and he is always referred to with respect. The Daily Chronicle in an editorial expresses the hope that there will soon be hetter news from San Francls- co, adding: ““The office the president hnlds as- sures him the sincere interest and re- gard of the British public. They re- spect him as the chosen head of the largest community in the world which speaks our own language.” Hopes For.Best Miami, Fla., July 81. ~—William Jen- nings Bryan.last night expressed wish that Prestdent Harding's iliness would not. prove serious. In a brief statement he said: '“I am greatly distressed to hear of the president's {liness and trust that it will not be gerious. The country will anxiously watch for the bulletins with a very carnest wish for his rapid recovery.” Daugherty Hurries On Seattle, July 31. — Hastening to President Harding's side, Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty passed through this city last night on his way to San Franecisco from Vancouver, B. C. Mr. Daugherty arrived on the steamer Princess Charlotte and eager- ly asked for news of the president as he hurried in a taxi to the railroad station. From the station he telephoned to the president's headquarters in R_:m Francisco. He ignored letters and telegrams awaiting him at a hotel here. Reed Is Worried Santa Ana, Cal, July 31.—James A. Reed, democratic senator from Miss- ouri, last night expressed regret for the illness of President Harding and expressed the hope that the crisis would be passed quickly and success- fully. Senator Reed is here for a brief rest. Tl While In Vancouver Vancouver, B. C., July 31.—While he was gamely going through the (elaborate program-prepared for his reception here Thursday, President Harding was suffering from the ill effects of Alaskan crabs, which he had eaten, was the statement made b Mayor Tisdall last night. “I sat next to the president at the civic luncheon and during that time he informed me that he was suffering acutely from what he thought indi- gestion from eating crab meat taken al on board at Alaska,” sald the mayor. “I am sorry that it has turned out to bée even more serious and, with all Canadians, 1 wish President Harding a speedy recovery." Mayor Tisdall also commented on the gracious manner in which the president went through with his re- ception arrangements here, although “hé must have been feeling far from well."” Weakened On Friday Seattle, July 31. — Followers of President Harding's Seattle speech Friday noticed he was hurrying through his prepared address. In spite of his/iliness the president, after his address, made the previously can- celled trip to the Children's Ortho- raedic hospital. During the long drive up Queen Anne hill, however, it was noticed Mrs. Harding was doing most, of the honors. At the hospital President Harding did not leave the car, Mrs., Harding, the audience at the stadium noticed was watching the president closely during his address. Her concern at the time was set down to interest’in the manner in which the vast crowd would receive the ad- dress. Davis to Hurry Home By The Associated Press, London, July 31.—James J. Davis, American secretary of labor, sent a cable message today to RBrig, Gen, Sawyer, President Hardlng‘s physician, expressing the secretary’s sympathy for the president and asking to be kept informed of his condition. Un- less the president improves mean- while Secretary Davis plans to safl for New York tomorrow instead of August 7, as he had originally in- tended, cancelling all his engage- ments. Insists On Quiet San Francisco, July 31.—No air- planes will be permitted to fly over San Francisco while President Hard- ing remains here. An order prohibiting private planes from passing over the city was issued today by Police Chief O'Brien, as a result of a conference last night with secret service officers here with the president, and army, navy and pstal afrplanes, are confined by regulation to certain definite sections on the water front or near the landing flelds on the outskirts of the metropolitan area. Stock Market Affected. New York, July 31.—Official over- night reports that President Hard- ing’s condition was grave brought a large volume of selling orders in to~ day's stock market and caused a break of 1 to 2 points in U, 8. Steel, Studebaker, Baldwin and other spec- ulative leaders. Commission houses reported that much of the liquidation came from small investors who had become frightened by the turn for the worse in the president's illness. Father Cannot Go. Marion, O., July 31.—The only di- rect word Dr. George T. Harding, father of the president, has received from his son's bedside was a tele. gram late last night from Mrs, Hard- ing stating that pneumonia had set in.” Dr, Harding said that he did not expect. to go to San Francisco as the distance was too far and.the trip too mich for a man of his age. The doctor eagerly scanned news- papers and waited with anxiety for “copy’ 'from the news service telling about his son. Dr. Harding's concern epitomized the feeling of Marion citizens. There was subdued air in the streets and a prevailing tenseness. TAKES DOLLAR QUOTATION Berlin, July 31.—The Reichsbank intends hereafter to regulate the pur- chase price of gold coin on the basis of the dollar quotation, says the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung today. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SAN FRANCISCO WORRIED AT HARDING’S ILLNESS City Turns From Galety to Sorrow as Chief Executive Lies Desperately i in Hotel, By The Assoclated Presa, San Francisco, July 31.—San Fran- cisco, taken unaware by the unex- pected coming of President Harding, burst forth today with all the gaiety of decoration that had been planned in honor of the nation's executive. Al- most at the same time the city's crowds, turned from their normal vi- vacity by graver news from the presi- dent's sick room, took on an unwont- ed air of concern. Up the city's principal thorough- fares, great natiopal banners hung from standards on either side, fram- ing the vlew in patriotic colors, Through this array streamed crowds which paused before the president's hotel, halted before newspaper of- fices to read the latest bulletins re- garding the executive's condition, or broke up into small knots in which but one subject was discussed—the president's health. Buildings blossomed out with bunt- ing and decorative effects, the center of many of which was the gold ‘seal on a blue ground, emblematic of the presidential flag; ferries on the bay flung out their ensigns and street cars carrled flags. All these signs of festivity made a sad contrast with the deep regret evi- dent everywhere that illness had over- taken the president. This regret was cvercome by only one thing—the .eagerness of everyone to do whatever might be done to give aid and com- fort to the president in his fight. Telegrams of sympathy poured into the presidential head- quarters, keeping a staff of clerks busy opening, sorting and answering them. Baskets of fruit, huge bou- quets and other gifts that might serve to cheer the sick room, or be of in- terest to the patlent, arrived in such profusion that they overflowed the presidential rooms, and the corridor had to be turned into a veritable bow- er of California blossoms.
