Untermyer Refuses Advisory Role for German Embassy

Samuel Untermyer of New York told a Senate committee he sought to disprove pro German insinuations and said he declined to act as legal adviser to the German embassy despite friendships with von Bernstorff and aides. He cited his 1916 negotiations with Dr. Albert for the New York Sun and defended them as business, noting it mattered little who paid if control stayed with his group. The hearing included letters denying Hearst ties to Fox and Kelly, and Captain Lester read credentials for Fox from the Hearst office in Germany, tying testimony to Dr. Fuehr and an ex coworker of Albert.
