Anxious to learn how the pool profited $4,925,000 on an investment of $12,683,000, the Committee called Broker Meehan. He had sailed for Europe the night before, "a very sick man." They also called Pool Manager Bradford Ellsworth. He was reported to be in Canada. Though he had been ill in Florida during the actual operations, Co-manager Thomas E. Bragg confirmed the facts & figures that Counsel Gray adduced...

Sir George Hubert Wilkins sailed from Manhattan last week for, it was said, a conference with Premier Benito Mussolini concerning another submarine trip toward the North Pole...
...crowd that watched the opening matches of 1932 Davis Cup play at Washington last week was not really very much concerned about who would win. Everyone knew that the U. S. players-Ellsworth Vines, John Van Ryn, Wilmer Allison, Frank Shields-were too strong for soft-stroking Marcel Rainville and old Dr. Jack Wright, Canada's two best singles players.
