DENY PRESIDENT SUFFERS SECOND SHARP RELAPSE

Washington, Feb. 17.—President Wilson continues to show improvement and was up early today, shaving himself and going about his usual routine, Rear Admiral Grayson, his physician, said. Dr. Grayson’s statement was prompted by published reports that the president had a relapse last night and that Dr. Francis X. Dercum, a Philadelphia specialist, had been hurriedly summoned to the White House for a midnight conference. Dr. Grayson said he had not been in communication with Dr. Dercum since Saturday, when the latter visited the White House and president making steady progress. The president’s cabinet, probably will not meet this week, Dr. Grayson said, but he added that if the president desired to call one bis physician would not object.
