Alpine III or regular double butted spokes?
Alpine's will work.
For a more adequate answer you have to look at the opposite end of the spoke. Rolling spoke threads increases the diameter slightly so, on a straight 14 gauge spoke, the largest diameter is the threads. A hub flange hole that's big enough to allow the rolled threads on a 14 ga spoke to pass will also allow a 13 ga elbow to just snugly fit.
