Special Despatch to The New York Herald.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, DC
Woodrow Wilson, from his enforced retirement in his S street home, today anxiously watched predictions of the Weather Bureau for Friday. The ex-President, if the weather is good, will join the procession from the capital to Arlington National Cemetery in honor of the Unknown Soldier.
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, physician to Mr. Wilson, reluctantly gave his consent to his patient to join in honoring the Unknown Soldier provided the weather is fair and Mr. Wilson’s physical condition remains unchanged.
The ex-President’s physical condition, though greatly improved, will not permit him to make any part of the long march on foot like other officials. Instead, he will pass over the line of march in an automobile. The position assigned to the automobile of Mr. Wilson is directly behind the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and just in advance of the other Judges.
