man, said that the only thing he
knew about a change in personnel
in the department is what he has
read in a Wilmington paper, and
subsequent runors by the man on
the street.
In denying reports that there
might be a shakeup, Haskell said
the rumors are ungrounded so far
as the csc is concerned" Such a
thing would be impossible for the
Commission to undertake without
a formal complaint he declared.
Haskell said further that it is
the unanimous opinion of the Com
mission that such action would be
impossible.
Meanwhile the Commission is
hard put to it to make certifica-
tons of applicants to fill vacancies
created when former officers H.
L. Gurley and Roy Grissett were
fired from the force charged with
store breaking, larceny and receiv-
ing, he added.
According to Haskell a month
will probably be required before
the vacancies can be filled because
of the lack of proper application
blanks.
A letter was in the hands of the
Commission Friday night asking
certification of applicants to be
appointed to the force to fill the
vacancies. Six men have been ask
ed for by Chief of Police Charles
H. Casteen.
There are a number of appli-

Ry the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Arthur M.
Hyde, 10, one-time Governor of
Missouri and Secretary of Agricul-
ture in President Herbert Hoovers
Cabinet, died yesterday.
Mr.. Hyde, Governor of Missouri
from 1921 to 1925 and the second
Republican chief executive of that
States history, had undergone two
operations at Memorial Hospital
here, the last three days ago. He
entered the hospital four weeks ago.
A native OF Princeton, Mo-, and
the son of Ira B. Hyde, a Repre-
sentative from the second Missouri
district, he entered politics in 1912
as an unsuccessful candidate on
the Progressive Party ticket for
State attorney general.
AS Agriculture Secretary, Mr.
Hyde, a farmer and business man
as well as a politician, began a
rural education program which
stressed the spread of modern agri-
cultural methods among the Ma
tons farmers.
His daughter, Mrs. James P. Kelly
Trenton, Mo-, was at the hospital
when he died. Death, she said, was
caused by cancer of the pancreas.
For the last 10 years Mr.. Hyde
and his son-in-law had engaged in
farm management partnership at
Trenton.
He is survived by his widow
daughter, and a brother, Judge Lau-
rance M. Hyde of the Missouri Su-
