Also there must be some relation to Joel Hyatt (attorney, ran for political office in Ohio many years ago).

It's possible, but not likely. Pritzker is Hyatt Hotels. Joel Hyatt (not his original name) is Hyatt Legal Services. He was Howard Metzenbaum's son in law.

The Pritzkers are an interesting family. Liesel Pritzker had a childhood acting career under the name Liesel Matthews (A Little Princess, Air Force One). She sued the family to get her share of the inheritance and a lot of dirty laundry was aired (or heir-ed).
