Stan in fact used to end the surname with an "e", as is evidenced by some career-era signatures. I do know that, in 1925, he spelled it both ways! He really wasn't a prolific signer in his younger years. Practically everything you see was signed following his induction. Thankfully, he lived to sign for many years after being elected.
Edit: I just happened to read where you wrote that Harry's HOF questionnaire was filled out by Stan. You may wish to revise. It was signed by Stan, but Stan's wife completed the rest in her hand.
