  "Frank Lyon Polk (September 13, 1871–February 7, 1943) was a prominent lawyer and a name partner of the law firm today known as Davis Polk & Wardwell. He graduated from Yale College[1] (B.A., 1894) and Columbia University Law School[1] (LL.D., 1897). He was a member of Scroll and Key Society. Polk served on a variety of New York City boards and commissions. He served in the United States Department of State as Counselor (1915–1919), Acting Secretary of State (1920), and Under Secretary of State (1919–1920). Polk headed the American Commission to Negotiate Peace (1919) and managed the 1924 Democratic presidential convention campaign of John W. Davis, another name partner of the firm." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Polk

  In April, 1914, Polk, who was serving as Corporation Counsel in the administration of New York City Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, was wounded in the mouth by a bullet fired by Michael P. Mahoney, a would-be assassin, as the officials rode together in an open car. The bullet, probably intended for Mitchel, missed him and struck Polk instead.
