"SHARE WEALTH" MOVEMENT DEPENDS ON RECOVERY

Hyde Park, N.Y., To-day.

"I deeply regret the attempt on the life of Senator Huey Long," declared President Roose- velt. "This spirit of violence is un-American and has no place in the consideration of public affairs, least of all at a time when a calm, dis- passionate approach to the problems of the day is so essential."

Baton Rouge: Despite an official bulletin declaring that Senator Long's chances of recovery have greatly increased, it. is learned from a reliable source that he became worse at noon yesterday and passed blood. His pulse increased and a second blood transfusion was given.

There is a tense atmosphere throughout the State al- though the possibility of an armed revolt is discounted. State police are pouring in to Baton Rouge to protect the Capitol National and the hospital where Senator Long is lying. Guards are ready to reinforce them if necessary.

The commander of the State police has ordered the men to shoot down any photographer caught making pictures in or near the Capitol or the hospital.

Addis Ababa, To-day.

The movements of large bodies of Italian troops towards the Abyssinian frontier are re- ported in telegrams from the Governor of the northern provinces to the Government. It is assumed that the Italian forces in Eritrea are already making preparations for a large-scale advance, the first objective of which will prob- ably be Adowa.
