DOVER RIGHT BACK
BY COURTS ACTION
Says She Signed Them Away
Under Misapprehnsion
Necessity.

New York. July 11.-Mrs. Helen
Elwood Stokes Tuesday won her figh,
to have her dover rights to property
valued at more than $4,000. 900 re-
stored when Supreme Court Justice
Daniel F. Colahan handed down de-
cision in the suit she had brought
against her husband, w. f. D. Stokes.
wealthy hotel man and real estate
operator.
Mrs. Stokes alleged that she had
signed away her dover rights to the
property under a misapprehension that
it was necessary for her to do so at
once. The defendant claimed that she
had signed over her dover rights as
part of an ante-nuptial pact.
Mrs. Stokes, who secured separa
ton from her husband and $4,000 a
year temporary alimony last fall. will
have an interest amounting to about
S2,5OO,0O in the Stokes property. it
was said, if Justice Colahan's de-

DOVER RESIGNATION
UNDERSTOOD TO BE IN
HANDS OF PRESIDENT
From Harding, Mellon or Reformation Of
ficial Under Consideration.

Washington. July 11.-President
Harding was understood Tuesday night
to have under consideration the resig-
nation of Elmer Dover of Tacoma.
Wash. and formerly of Ohio. as assist
ant secretary of the treasury In charge
of customs and internal revenue.
Information of the resignation of
Mr.. Dover was received at the capital
Tuesday from treasury sources but
something of mystery surrounded the
assistant secretarys connection with
the treasury, as official confirmation
or denial of the report was wholly
lacking
At the treasury it was said that Sec
retary Mellon had no statement to
make and that the matter was one for
MIR. Dover and the president. At the
White House it was made known that
President Harding had no comment to
make at this time. Mr.. Dover himself
would neither confirm nor deny the re
port, declaring that he had nothing to
say.
Would End Blair Scrap
The resignation of Mr.. Dover. it
was indicated, could be regarded as the
elimination of his controversy with
David II. Blair, commissioner of in
ternal revenue. which has ragged for
several months over the proposed re-
organization of the internal revenue
bureau.
According to the accepted opinion in
administration circles, Mr.. Dover was

counsel for Woods announced that the
conviction and sentence would be ap-
pealed to the supreme court of the
