. -- Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph W. Giuliani was back campaigning Saturday, feeling well after what were described as flu-like symptoms had triggered an overnight hospital stay earlier in the week.

“It was a severe headache, yeah, and everything has turned out fine,” the former New York mayor said Saturday. “All the tests turned out 100%. As you can see, I’m very healthy.” Giuliani met with supporters and undecided voters at the home of Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta late in the afternoon.

Though his campaign canceled a town hall meeting Friday in Merrimack and removed an Exeter house party from his public schedule in New Hampshire today, Giuliani insisted his campaign was back in full swing. “Now we’re right on schedule,” he said.

Giuliani, 63, en route home to New York on Wednesday after a full day of campaigning across Missouri, ordered his plane to turn around and return to St. Louis. There, on advice of his New York doctor, Giuliani spent the night in Barnes-Jewish Hospital, which specializes in cardiac care. Giuliani’s staff cited flu-like symptoms, which they said had been worsening all day.

Giuliani, a prostate cancer survivor, underwent additional tests after his return to New York. He said his doctor pronounced him in good health.
