SECRETARY HAY GROWS WEAK
Haa te Be Taken Aboard Steamer for
' Europe In a Wheel
Chair.
NEW YORK. March 18. Secretary of State
Hay waa taken 111 today as he was about
to board the White Star liner Cretic for a
voyage to the Mediterranean and. became
so weak that he was taken on board the
steamer In a wheeled chair. That hla con
dition waa not regarded as alarming seemed
apparent, however, as the steamer started
on Its voyage without delay. Mr. Hay has
been In poor health for some time and the
voyage upon which he aturted today waa
planned to give him complete rest and an
opportunity to recuperate. The aecretary'a
plana Include a atay ot about atx weeks in
southern Europe.
The secretary had com up from Wash
ington yesterday, accompanied by Mrs.
Hay; hla daughter. Mrs. Jamea W. Wads
worth, Jr.; Clnrence Hay, his son; and
irenry Adans, a personal friend. The
whole party went to tt steamer today,
although only Mr. and Mra. Hay and Mr.
Adama were to sail.
At th White Star dock there are threa
short flight of stairs leading to the second
floor, from which floor the boarding of tha
steamers ia made. In going up these stalra
Mr. Hay had to raat at each landing. Just
as he reached the top he reeled back, but
recovered himself and kept on. As he was
about to atart up tha gangplank he was
sean to turn deathly white and stagger, and
he. would have fallen had not his friend
supported him. Tho secretary was assisted
to a heap ot freight piled up near the gang
plank, where he sat down and waited until
an Invalid's chair was brought from the
steamer. He was then wheeled aboard th
steamer and went at once to his apart
ments. '
It was wtthin a few minutes of the
steamer's sailing time when th secretary
went on board and it was believed that If
his ill turn was regarded as practically
serious ther would have been some delay
while physician wer summoned or a
change In plana made. No word came
from Mr. Hay's apartmenta, however, and
the Cretic left Its dock promptly on
schedule time. The Cretto Is not equipped
with wireless telegraph nud except for
possible' signals to a passing vessel no
word of the aecretary'a condition will be
had until It reaches the Azures, Its first
stopping place.
Aa she passed Sandy Hook th Cretic
displayed a signal saying that Secretary
Hay waa much better.
