TO LEHE FDR HOME MOmUY IB BEST Physicians Finally Consent to Ex-President Leaving Bed, Danger Being Past. ONLY COMPLICATION OF LUNGS NOW FEARED Colonel Will Be Kept Quiet Ten Days. After Which He May Enter Campaign. CHICAGO, Oct. 19.--Theodore Roose velt will leave Chicago Monday morn ing for New York. This was definitely announced today by Dr. Alexander Lambert, the colonel’s medical attend ant. Doctors Murphy, Bevan and Ter rell approved of the decision to permit the trip to be undertaken at that time. The actual time of the colonel's de parture has not been definitely fixed At first it was announced that he would leave at 10:25 a. m. Later it was found the colonel favored an earlier train, and Philip Roosevelt, his cousin, sided with the colonel. The advisability of leav ing at 8:15 a. m. was discussed. It will probably be definitely decided some time during the day. The physician's bulletin today gave the colonel’s condition ns normal. Color el Impatient About Going Home. Colonel Roosevelt asked the nurse and the physicians about going home when he woke up this morning. He talked about it just before he went, to sle'ep last night. He has questioned Mrs. Roosevelt about it almost constantly for a day. Today he tried to win consent of bis phy sicians and his wife to permit the start to be made tomorrow. The doc tors. still cautious, said that the colonel must wait at Mercy hospital until Monday before undertaking the trip. The doctors are not going to take any chances. They realize that while the colonel has made remarkable im provement, while the wound is healing rapidly and the danger from sepsis has passed, there is still the danger of a relapse from over-exertion. It is fear of pleurisy or pneumonia that is the bogey of the physicians. The wound in the muscular wall of the chest would be sufficient cause for the dread of the development of this complication, but the fact that the colonel has a frac tured rib which pains him when he draws a deep breath is still a more po tent factor. The doctors desire to keep the colonel from re-entering the campaign until the rib is in such condition that there will be no danger of irritation from his vigorous way of speaking. The longer they keep him in the hospital they believe, the longer they can keep him from starting out for further speaking. The colonel Is improving rapidly. His condition today was satisfactory to the doctors. At « a. m. his temperature was 98.2. pulse 70. and his respiration 18—all normal. The colonel woke cheerful and eager for political conferences. He slept less last night than he did tin night be fore. He was hungry when ho woke and asked for his breakfast, which was brought to him at 7 o'clock. Mrs Roosevelt join' d her husband at break fast. During tlie night the colonel awoke twice, but in each instance went to sleep again almost immediately. Despite bls close confinement, the patient retained a splendid appetite. *At 4 a. m. he awoke and asked how ■soon breakfast would be ready. Mr. I Roosevelt lias not been troubled with indigestion, though used to an active life, and suffering to some extent from his unwonted inactivity. Rest Excellent For His Throat. | Some of the doctors insist that Mr. I Roosevelt's enforced period of rest is not a bad thing for him, generally 'speaking. He was suffering from a bad I throat at the time of Schrank's attempt ion his life and might even have been compelled to take a rest in any event. i Mrs. Roosevelt slept soundlj through out the night until shortly after 4 'o'clock, when she rang her bell and In 'quired of the night nurse how Mr. I Roosevelt was.

Watson has served notice that he will decline to vote for Wood row Wilson in the national presidential election, and that he will ask his Geor gia following to back him- up and stay away from the polls. ' Mr. Watson quotes The New York , Times as saying that Wilson has joined the Knights of Columbus, and, thgre ‘ fore, Watson says he will quit the ■ Wilson camp. There Is some apprehension felt among state politicians that Watson's attitude may affect tile Georgia situ ation dangerously, if his following falls ' in behind him and also bolts Wilson. Watson is supposed to command about 15.009 votes in Georgia. There are others who say, however, that Watson's following never will go to the extent of. bolting Wilson purely , because of religious prejudice.

The governor has obtained this money with the understanding that if, at any time within the 90 days, the state should be able to retire any of the loan it shall be permitted to do so and receive credit for the unearned interest It is the purpose of the executive to pay up the accounts of the state san itarium, the school for the deaf, the school for the blind and the University of Georgia. He hopes to be able to pay the common school teachers a divi dend of not less than four and possi bly five per cent of their appropriations from this borrowed sum. This is the first time in many years that the state has managed to go as late as October without borrowing. The usual borrowing time has been August or September. The governor believes that all ac counts may be met without embarrass ment to the state now—certainly until December 1, anyway. If there should be fifteen or twenty days yet to ba looked after, the executive believes he can arrange with the banks to carry the state for the few days. The borrowed funds now are avail able for the governor's warrants. TAFT REPUBLICANS WIN FIRST FIGHT ON NEBRASKA ELECTORS LINCOLNTON.

Wandered World, Brain in a Daze. The message, which tn a large ex tent cleared up the mystery which has puzzled not only Atlanta, but search ers the world over, was received short ly before 9 o’clock today. Its impor tance was at once realized by the cable company. No time was wasted tn sending a messenger to the DeLeon home. A clerk rushed to the telephone and got Mrs. DeLeon on the wire.

A pretty scene was presented this morning as the little tots clung to the skirts of the mother, overjoyed at the news that the father would soon be on the way home.

A meeting of DeLeon's creditors has been called for next week by Pressly Adams, referee in the case, and at that time it is probable that H. L. Fraser will be appointed trustee for the cred itors. According to Mr. Ransom, the receiv ers and creditors had nothing to do with the discovery of DeLeon. "If ha returns." he said, “it will be on his own volition." Moise DeLeon's disappearance was first known in Atlanta August 24. At that time no word had been received
