Washington Hopeful That Leaders May
Linger Here After Administration Ends
Several Have “Dug In” to
Extent of Purchasing
Homes; Others Have
Washington “Habit’-’
It’s dangerous to count
one’s chickens before they
are hatched. But, “dope”
stories being the fashion of
■the moment, it is interesting
to try to figure out how
many of the members of
President Coolidge’s Ad
ministration family are likely
to remain in Washington
after he retires to private
life. '
Some of them have “dug
in” here to the extent of
purchasing homes and-—well,
the habit of living in Wash
ington is easy to acquire and
difficult to break. Indeed,
the woods here are full of
Administration leaders of
other days who are perma
nent residents of the Capital.
Pleasant / Possibility
Eormer President Taft re
mains as Chief Justice* Taft.
The late president Wilson lived
in Washington until his death.
And it is not beyond the bounds
of possibility that President
Coolidge might settle down here.
If seems hardly probable, how-
- ever, arfd it’s safe to prophesy
that the Vice President and Mrs.
Dawes are too strongly bound to
their Chicago home to become
anything but occasional visitors
to Washington.
In the White House?
If the Secretary of Commerce
and Mrs. Hoover remain after
~' March 4, 1929, It will doubtless be
as the occupants of MOO Pennsyl
vania Ave., although they own
their charming house in S Street.
The Secretary of State and Mrs.
Kellogg have a Washington resi
dence at Ninteenth and R Streets,
which has been their home since
Secretary Kellogg was Senator
Kellogg. They don’t own the
house, but have lived in it so long
that they must have a proprie
tary feeling, and they have been
- eb long residents of the Capital
that it is hard to imagine their
deserting Washington perma
nently.
The Secretary of War and Mrs-
Dwight Davis, too. have been
with up a long time. Mr. Dgvis
-having come to us first as chair
man of the War Finance Corpora
tion and having been Assistant
Secretary of War before he suc
ceeded to his present post. He
and Mrs- Davie are so closely
affiliated with the smart unofficial
group that one may well hope to
retain them as resident Washing
tonians.
Postmaster General and Mrs.
New own Hemlock Lodge, their
picturesque and homelike dwelling
In Edgemoor, Md-. purchased
after a long period as apartment
dwellers. - and the Secretary of
Labor and Mrs. Davis only moved
into their house in Massachusetts
Avenue a little over a year ago.
They had been living at Wardman
Park Hotel since the beginning
of the Administration, j and the
fact that they purchased a home
so near its close at least suggests
the possibilit- that they propose
to remain.
Who Knows?
Secretary Mellon of the Treas
ury seems such a detached sort
of person that it’s difficult to
hazard a guess as to what his
course will be when he retires
from the Cabinet. He is not an.
chored by a permanent home,
having lived in an aparatment at
ITSS Massachusetts Ave. ever since
coming to Washington. His son,
Paul Mellon, is a student at
Tale and not yet “located.” but
his daughter, Mrs. David K. Este
Bruce, lives in New York, which
might lead him to establish a
residence there. And. of course,
he has always retained his Pitts
burgh home.
It would seem likely that At
torney General Sargent will leave
Washington as soon as he leaves
the Government service. He has
always given the effect of imper
manence here, since Mrs. Sargent
•pends most of the year at her
home in Ludlow. Vt., only com
ing to Washington for an oc
casional brief visit. The Secre
tary of the Navy and Mrs. Wil
bur and the Secretary of Agri
culture and Mrs. Jardine will
probably be going home at the
close of the Administration, and
Dr. Work, secretary of the in
. terior. has no family ties to bind
him to Washington.
However, in the event of a Re
publican victory at the polls, there
Is the possibility that any—or all
of the present Cabinet might be
retained, and Secretary Work has
had an important part in Secre
tary Hoover's pre-convention cam
paign.
