Croker and the Huckleberry Stock Affair in Tammany
Washington Evening Chronicle details Croker’s control of 4000 Union Railway of The Bronx shares known as Huckleberry stock. It outlines Croker’s lending ties via Joseph Hendrix and the National Union Bank, and alleges Tammany’s opposition to the Port Chester road to shield Croker’s interests. The piece notes Croker’s continued influence within Tammany Hall and mentions the Union Railway’s place in the Metropolitan system. It also briefly cites political maneuvers against a Bronx crossing permit and the Met’s potential monopoly within the borough.
