This term, formally proclaiming the ruler's title to Jurisdiction over but In the official copies used In the proclamation of the accession of Ed ward VII. Although the form of George's proclamation was. supposed to have been Identical with that of his father, the omission occurred not only In the document read to London, but ni the official copies used In the provincial cities. A high court offi cer today declared that there seemed little likelihood of avoiding a repe tition of the parent and ceremony, if George were to reign legally, but that an Investigation had been begun to ascertain If the heralds Included the phrase verbally, in spite of Its absence from the printed documents. The privy council was today noti fied of a meeting with the object of finally and officially selecting the new titles of the royal family.- It is still undecided whether Queen Alexandra will take the title of queen mother or queen dowager. To the people she will probably rer main Queen Alexandra till her death. The crown prince. It Is believed, will become the Prince of Wales with out delay: All this, however.
