Notable Railroad Chief Mellen Meets Roosevelt in Washington
Charles Mellen president of the New Haven Hartford railroad met with President Roosevelt for about thirty five minutes in the White House. He declined to discuss the talk, saying it would be improper to reveal details. An official said there was nothing to disclose, noting Mellen’s stage fright and that much of what was said could not be captured in a single paragraph. Meanwhile Representative elect Peter Porter arrived in Washington in an indignant mood after defeating James Wadsworth. Porter pledged support with independent endorsement but later aligned with the Republicans. Porter's Capitol visit uncovered Wadsworth’s prior cleanup of components of the administration’s agenda, and his seeds and favors pledge were reportedly unavailable before next year. Porter carries a unique cow emblem on his visiting card.
