Discoveries Made in Von Igel's Papers--Startling List of Names of Persons Connected with the Scheme That Resulted in Riots.
Washington, April 27.--John B. Stanchfield of New York, acting as counsel for the German embassy, will confer with Secretary Lansing or Counsellor Polk of the state department, about the papers seized by agents of the department of justice from the New York office of Wolfe von Igel.
Von Igel will accompany Stanchfield, and if the state department officials wish, will identify papers.
The German embassy, it is said, takes the position that the papers do not concern Count von Bernstorff, the ambassador, but belong purely to the office of the military attache.
The papers are said to contain a startling list of names of persons in this country connected with alleged unneutral activities. It is understood they also contain material disclosing activities in this country related to the recent uprising in Ireland and the names of Americans who have knowledge of the plans.
