All of this got me to wondering about Press Wireless and whether
they used any Morse gear or was it all Teletype.  Unfortunately our
Press Wireless veteran W6OWP is now SK but maybe I can find someone
who knows.

There's a picture I found on the Library of Congress archive  called "Telegraph room of the New York Times newspaper Telegrapher on the direct wire from Washington" showinf a reporter at a typewriter alongside a morse sounder. So I guess the answer is yes they did.
