START FOR STAUNTON

WILSON AND WIFE ARE TO VIBIT GOVERNOR'S BIRTHPLACE. President-Elect Has Recovered From Blight Cold Which Threatened to Develop Into Grippe. Princeton, N. J., Dee. 27.—President elect Wilson had practically recovered from the slight cold contracted on his automobile trip to and from Trenton on Tuesday when he and Mrs. Wilson left Princeton for Staunton, Va„ the governor’s birthplace, at 10:30 this morning. Mrs. Wilson said that the governor had be§p somewhat annoyed at the exaggerated published accounts of his illness. i “It is really not serious at all,” shej said. "On Tuesday night we called' the doctor merely as a precaution against disappointing the people of Staunton tomorrow. The doctor found that the cold had not attacked the governor’s bronchial tubes or his lnngs and that it had affected' only his digestion. The doctor remarked that the governor has great physical elasticity. Grippe had been threatened, but the governor had thro%n it off without trouble.”

Mrs. Wilson added that the symptom that caused her to summop the doctor was fever. The physician on examination found the governor’s temperature to be 101. This was not high enough to be alarming. The governor remained in bed only because he wanted to get as much rest and store up as much energy as possible. If he had not been ill he would have spent the better part of the day in bed. The governor’s intestinal trouble was relieved by a diet of broth and eggs.
