Secretary Loeb May Become President Of Washington Railway
Secretary Loeb hinted to friends that if Hibbs & Co. succeed in taking a controlling stake in the Washington Railway and Electric Company, he may be chosen president. He noted substantial stock has been acquired but could not say if a controlling interest exists. He stressed his focus on serving as president rather than pursuing the business post. The control battle has stretched for months and may continue. If allies gain a voting majority, Loeb likely would lead the company and remain in the city.
