Mr.. Hobart's political work has
not interfered with his steady
progress in his profession and in
the business world. His execu.
tive ability has been tried in
many and various interests. He
was appointed receiver of the
First National Bank, which
failed in 1850, and within six
months had so successfully man.
aged its affairs that all the de.
positors were paid in full. He
