WASHINGTON. July 11 The

Intermittently for months. Is about
to clqfte. Elmer Dover Is going.
He may be boosted upstairs into
a better Job save his face. This
leaves Blair In charge of his own
office, the one thing that he fought
for. Had It not been for the loyal
ty of secretary Mellon, Mr. Blair
would have walked the plank, for
not converting the bureau of in
ternal revenue into a republican
campaign organization at the be
hest of partisan members of Con
gress. e?'over was selected by Admln
JaeTatlon leaders to play the poli
tical game, while Secretary Mellon
kept his financial end of the gov
ernment Btraight. Early today Mr.
Dover emphatically and Indignant
ly decided that he had resigned,
but later he softened his attitude
to a refusal to confirm or deny
the report.. President Harding de
clined to comment, but may have
Vtfmething "to say In a few days
"Then Mr. Dover actually quits.
Secretary Mellon would not comment.
Dover was confirmed the twen
ty-second of December last. He
has had a stormy half year. It
was openly proclaimed by Repub
lican political leaders at the capl-
tol and elsewhere that he had been
chosen to aid Secretary Mellon in
making his. appointments or rec
ommendations for appointments
His nomination by the President
followed much complaint from
congressmen to the effect that
Secretary Mellon knew nothing of
the Importance of partlsian selec
tions, and he was hurting the O.
O. P., with the army of pie hunt
ers, it is a matter of record that
the purpose of the Dover appoint
ment was to convert the bureau of
Internal revenue into a political
organization. Members ot the
house were demanding that all
democrats or Wilson holdovers be
fired. On the floor of the house,
December 21, twenty-four . hours
before Dover was confirmed. Rep
resentative Chalmers, Republican
of Ohio asked Mr, Pordney: "How
soon, in the gentleman's opinion
may we expect a new broom In the
treasury department?"

For Karly Change
Mr. Fordney answered: "I un
