NEW YORK, November 10.-Ivy
Lee, publicity man for big business,
is dead at the age Of 81.
A brain tumor caused his death
yesterday after he had been a patient
at st. Luke's Hospital since October
20.
Lee Was best known as the mouth
piece of John d. Rockefeller, jr., with
whom he was associated as publicity
adviser for 20 years. Rockefeller
rarely said anything for publication
which did not come through Ivy Lee,
and all questions concerning the
Rockefellers were referred to him.

his only big clients. His firm repre-
sented many large corporations, in

activities, brought out that Lee had
been receiving $4,000 a year from
the German dye trust for giving ad-
vice covering the relations between
Germany and the American people.
Other foreign clients were Rumania
and Poland.
The full list Of Lee clients, how
ever, has never been made public.
Lee started his career as publicity
man in 1903 after several years Of
newspaper work in New York. After
serving the Citizens Uuion in New
York mayoral campaign, and later the
Democratic Committee, he turned to
big business. His first big account
was the Pennsylvania Railroad and
he was so successful that the railroad
persuaded him to drop his other busi-
ness and confine himself to the in
terests Of the road.
Aided Rockfellers First In 1914,
|. He became associated with the
Rockefellers in 1914 during the strike
against the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co.
in which the Rockefellers held stock.
He is credited with recommending
much of the Rockefeller philanthropic
program which followed in later years.

former Cornelia Bigelow of St. Paul;

and three children. Mrs. Chandler

Thomas A. Doyle Of Edgemoor, Nd,
has filed suit in District Supreme
Court against the Home Owners Loan
corporation to compel them to issue
q reflnancing loan on his home.
Doyle contends representatives of
the corporation, after his home had
been threatened with foreclosure, had
appraised the property at $1,000 and
agreed to make a loan on that basis.
subsequently, he charges, this ap-
