The divisibility conjecture for even hook numbers in self-conjugate partitions

From papers

Let ah(n)a_h^*(n) denote the number of hooks of length hh among self-conjugate partitions of nn. The even-hook divisibility conjecture. For every integer n0n\geq0 and every integer m1m\geq1,

a2m(n)0(mod2m).a_{2m}^*(n)\equiv0\pmod{2m}.

This predicts systematic divisibility for the even-hook counting functions of self-conjugate partitions. The source restates it as a conjecture from prior work, and no resolution is given in the supplied text.
