Explains Letter to Albert.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Samuel
Untermyer OF New York, whose name
has been mentioned in the investiga-
ton OF German propaganda, appeared
to-day before the Senate Investigat-
ing Committee TO answer what he de-
scribed as innuendoes and implica-
tions which made 1t appear that previ-
Gus to March, 1915, his sympathies
were pro-German. Mr.. Untermyer
declared that he had declined aiter
being solicited, to act as counsel TOT
the German Embassy.
There is not a shred OF BASIS ne
said, for these vague implications
Referring to his letter to Dr. H. f.
Albert in February, 1915, regarding
the purchase OF New YORK news
paper, Mr.. Untermyer said he had
discussed the question with tfieho
whose name was not mentioned, but
that the stage OF meeting the pro-
posed venders was not reached.
"The talk about this evening and
morning paper being in the market
had been common gossip for long
time" he said, "and we were anxious
to acquire 1t on proper terms. had
discussed 1t in 1918 before the Euro
pean war with the same friend, at
time when he was considering the
purchase OF the Evening Post then

been and are still in negotiation for
another paper on his behalf.
''Dr. Albert expressed a desire TO
have the opportunity OF interesting
mis- friends on a purely business basis
and / told him that II anything was
started would let him know. which
did by the letter of Feb. 1e, 1915
from Florida. He seemed entirely
familiar with the law. that II he be-
came Interested his interest would
have TO be fully disclosed. 1t may be
that that circumstance also had some
thing to do with his declining to par
ticipate, although he did not so state.

who has been mentioned as negotiat-
ing the purchase OF l.. Il. Millers
minority stock In the Warheit a

and that Mr.. Untermyer's connection
