John E. Wilkie, Chief of the United States Secret Service, sends William Loeb a special report from Agent William J. Flynn saying that The Constitution Club will no longer use Roosevelt’s name after they had dishonestly listed him as an honorary member for promotional purposes. Wilkie informs Loeb that Flynn will continue to press club secretary Charles I. Bolles until he returns the letter to Loeb. Wilkie encloses an article about the club.
