...Robert Fresnel Loree, younger son of Railroader Leonor Fresnel Loree, was elected a director of New York Central R. R. Ever since his smallish Delaware & Hudson bought a 10%, interest in Central (TIME, Feb. 6), Father Loree has been seeking a place at Central's council table. But the I. C.

...cupid-encrusted office at No. 32 Nassau St., Manhattan, where Jay Gould used to play financial chess with railroads for queens, hulking old Leonor Fresnel Loree has sat growling into his beard for seven years, trying to thwart a checkmate.
