Re: theos-talk Swami Vivekananda's Contribution to the West

"When I, a poor, unknown, friendless Sannyasin was going to America, going beyond the waters to America without any introductions or friends there, I called on the leader of the Theosophical Society....He asked me, "
Will you join my Society?" "No", I relied, "how can I? For I do not believe in most of your doctrines.' "Then I am sorry, I cannot do anything for you," he answered...There I was with the last few dollars in my pocket... I sent a letter to my friend in Madras. This came to be known to the Theosophists, and one wrote, "Now the devil is going to die; God bless us all."...For three years I have not opened my lips about these things; silence has been my motto; but today the thing has come out. That was not all. I saw some Theosophists in the Parliament of Religions, and I wanted to talk and mix with them I remember the scorn which was on their faces, as much as to say, "What business has that worm to be here in the midst of the Gods?"

Vivekananda, C.W.3.208-09

I did not read anywhere that they broke up links with each other!

As far as I recall HPB broke all links with Olcott - if so, its a slap in the face for the founder.
