ALVIN UNTERMYER
ANSWERS CHARGES
AGAINST BROTHER
Says He Never Refused to Per
nit His QUESTIONABLE
to Be Seen.

Alvin Untermyer, a brother of Ir-
win Untcrmyer. made the following
signed statement to The Evening
World to-day:
"on behalf OF Mr.. Irwin Inter
meyer demand that you cease forth
with to publish the scurrilous, libelous
and unfair statement that appeared in
The Morning World entitled 'Unter-
myer Case Summed Up for Voters
Benefit or any similar article.
1T is not true that my brothers
patriotism has been questioned except
by the lbelous articles that have
appeared from time to time in the
press and Of which The New York
World, both morning and evening edi-
tions, were the orlginators.
mo man or woman and no scrap OF
evidence has been even suggested as
substnntiating in any respect these
libclous articles and innuendos.
AS a matter Of fact, the letter Of
Mr. George Lee Carr, military clerk
OF Local No. 1875, which The Morning
World carefully tried to hide. proves
that the entire suggestion is q tissue
Of lies.
Il demand that this letter Of Mr.
Carr with appropriate headlines be
published in all further editions OF
The Evening World OF to-day and in
The Morning World OF tomorrow.
Tho article in The World that
have referred to docs not show that
Mr.. Irwin Untermyer was indorsed
by the New York County lawyers
Association, and It therefore consti-
tutcs unfair criticism in that respect
at is n lie that any so-called
other trinkets,' or any trinkets what
soever other than the sticlSpins which
have taken the place Of the campaign
button and which cost no more than
such a button, have been distributed.
1T Is n lie that Mr.. Irwin Inter
myer or his compaign committee or
any member of his family has paid
or propose 10 pay for any luncheons.
ut Is a lie that Mr.. Irwin Inter
myer ever refused TO permit his draft
questionable to be seen. The ques-
tionnaire, as is we'll known. Is not
within his control.
THE statements made with respect
to the coupling OF Mr.. Untermyer's
name with that OF Justice Newourger
| Is especially libelous ard malicious.
! No such suggestion has ever come
from Mr.. Untermycr or from any Of
his committee OF from any OF his
campaign managers.
THE statement made in the article
referred TO that cards were distrib-
uted suggesting voting for Newburger
and Untermyer or that any ore saw
large packages OF these cards carried
from the Untcrmyer headquarters Is
unquaIfi IDLY false and is a complete
| fabrication.
"In so far as the non-inclusion OF Mr..
Luce's name on Mr.. Untermyer's lit
crature Is concerned, he merely fol-
lowed the practice generally pursued
4 ItItlOluIt ny al NtAhhlAtANNot AAASAoh-
ing Judge Luce himself in this cam
| paign.
The references TO Mr.. Untermyers $
/ legal record are untrue. He did argue
the case Of Best vs.. Nathan and the
! Scofield cases constituted four sep
arate actions and not one.
MIR. Untermyer voted in Warren
County In 1917 and he did not register
there In 1913
/ "The outrageous character OF the
article that appeared in this morn
ing's World and repeated in The Eve
ming World, and of preceding articles
that appeared in the same publica-
tlons, must be apparent to every one
and on behalf of Mr.. Irwin Inter
myer ] demand an immediate and
complete retI action"
