ROW REACHES
WHITE HOUSE
President Harding Expected to
Put an End to Trouble in
Treasury Department.

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Presidena
Harding will take the Dover Blair row in
hand and end it when Elmer Dover, AS
sistant Secretary Of the Treasury, returns
Monday from New York. This was freely
predicted by Administration officials in
close touch with White House affairs.
Officials who have watched the progress
of the feud over the patronage policy in
the internal revenue bureau between Mr..
Dover and Commissioner David II. Blair,
, assert that Mr.. Harding will no longer
tolerate the continued friction IN the
Treasury.
Since the beginning Of the controversy
which started several months ago when
Carl A GrabilI, appointed by Mr.. Dover
as head of the appointment division Of
the bureau, was transferred to New Or
leans, by Mr.. Blair, in the absence Of Mr.,
Dover, the President has hoped that the
affair would work out of itself. The row
has reached such point and has received
such widespread publicity now, officials
say Mr.. Harding is greatly displeased
and will call halt on the pickering.
RUMORS DOVER
WILL RESIGN.
Despite widespread rumors that Mr..
Dover will resign, his friends maintained
court. Since Mr. Dover's return from the
Pacific coast ten days ago he has not
had an opportunity to discuss with the
president the dismissal of A. D. Sumner
of Iowa and c. c. Childs Of Ohio by
Mr. Blair, which FASTENED the crisis In
the controversy.
1t was the summary dismissal Of these
two Dover appointees which led to the
circulation of the congressional petition
indorsing Mr.. Dover, which was presented
to the President by Representative Begg,
Ohio. And it was this petition and the
list of ALLEGED Democrat officials and en-
ployes in the bureau which drew the
singing rebuke from Secretary Mellon.
Since the President approved Mr.. Mel
Ions vigorous announcement that the
Treasury and Bureau of Internal Rev
enue would be conducted on business lines
and without regard to politics, 1t is
pointed out that Mr.. Dover must abandon
his scheme of reorganization If he con-
tinues in Office. Treasury officials are
inclined to believe that Mr.. Dover viii
resign rather than abandon his plans.
