Sounding hoarse but robust, President Boris N. Yeltsin appeared on television from his hospital room here tonight to prove that while he was sick, he was not as sick as the Kremlin had led people to believe by its insistence that he was fine. Mr. Yeltsin was flushed into public view by serious questions about the authenticity of the only photograph released of the President after he was hospitalized on July 11. The picture, distributed by the Itar-Tass news agency last Friday, showed Mr. Yeltsin in an Ellesse tennis shirt seated at a desk next to a table with four telephones. It appeared identical to footage of the Russian President, wearing an Ellesse tennis shirt at a desk next to four telephones, that was filmed when he was on vacation in southern Russia last April. Mr. Yeltsin's press secretary said it was taken at Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow on Friday.
