I don't know if this is of any interest, but this item appeared in the Chicago Daily News on November 8, 1932:
Insull Jr. Is Back in U.S., Keeps Silent
New York, Nov 8 -(UP) Samuel Insull Jr. of Chicago returned from Europe today on the S.S. Majestic, but had "nothing to say to the press" regarding his father, who is under arrest in Athens, Greece awaiting extradition proceedings in connection with the Insull Utilities interests.
He would not say there he was going or where he had been.He repeated several times, "I have nopthing to say to the press."
Reporters left Insull's cabin after he had made his position clear.Ship-news photographers and talking-picture men then took up the trail, following Insull to various parts of the ship and taking flash-light pictures of him.
"I never impede or facilitate the business of the press."Insull said, but he consented to pose for the photographers.
I have no connection to this family, I just came across this article in an old newspaper book.Hope this help some.
