Adorno’s and Lazarsfeld’s collaboration broke down by 1939

Evidence

By the summer of 1939 this was clear to both men. Lazarsfeld wrote a five-page letter to Adorno voicing his extreme disappointment with the outcome of their association. Its tone was pointed, even harsh at times. Clearly Lazarsfeld felt the time for euphemism was past. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 664
