“While leadership for the Republican

OFFICIALS OF GOVERNMENT
MUM AS 70 NEW SPELLING
Dr Private leased Wire.
Washington, Aug. 35.—No official
notice <>f the contemplated spelling re
form In the government departments
has been received In Washington.
While several heads of the depart
ments ore personalty in favor of the
proposed change, others do not look
upon It with much favor In view of
the fact that they believe It will oc
casion considerable confusion.
Secretary Show refused to discuss
the rhnog* for the reuson that he has
not been officially notified. A. W. Mur
ray, acting secretary of commerce and
labor, also declined to say anything for
the same reason. Mr. Murray Was not
repared to say Just what method
oulil obtain In the notifying the va
rious chiefs of the conti
change.
template!
inents, the news of the president's
phonetic spelling order was received
with Incredulity. Officials high and
low, refused to discuss tbs move openly
until Informed through the official
channels of the chief executive's order
on the subject. In their departments
mnro than In any other branches of
the government, the "no talk" rule pre
vails, and the officials will not discuss
new phases of affairs.
It Is In th* department of state that
the new spelling would have far-
reaching sff*ct*. For Instance, if
treaties and other communication* be
tween the "United State* and England
should be embraced In the president's
order, the English government might
well be pfcrpletfed- by running against
the new hmde of spelling ns opposed
to the old-fashioned method.
Officlala having charge of records at
<ha department of interior and Justice
stated at noon that they did not care
to express their opinion of the order
and Its effect until they received some
official communication on the subject.
