Former Wardman Company
Vice President Files
Schedule in 10 Days

A petition in voluntary
bankruptcy was filed in Dis
trict Supreme Court today by
James D. Hobbs, real estate
operator, former vice president
of the Wardman Company.
No schedules of assets and
liabilities were filed with the
petition, but it was understood
that millions of dollars are in
volved.
Mr. Hobbs is represented by At
torney James j. Slattery, who
said the schedules would be filed
within 10 days.
Was Leading RealtOr
Hobbs, until about two years
ago. was one of the most impor'
tant realtors and financiers in
the National Capital.
He had served as vice president,
treasurer, or in other important
capacities with the various Ward
man companies and corporations.
Since then it is reported. his
fortunes have declined. Tt Is
limited in local circles that he was
squeezed out" of the Wardman
organizations.
In the early part of 1880 he
went to New York where he en-
gagged in real estate operations
later returning to Washington.
Figure in Accident
About year ago he figured
in an automobile accident on the
Defense Highway Maryland IN
which his brother was killed.
The involved affairs of the
numerous and valuable Ward
man properties" are still in proc
es5 of disentanglement.
Hotels and apartment houses,
constructed or financed by the
Wardmen interests, valued at
about $50, 900, 900, have been sche-
duled for sale at public auction.
These include the fashionable
Wardman Park Hotel and Chas-

When the bankruptcy schedules
are filed, it is predicted that
Hobbs holdings will have dwin-
died almost to the vanishing point.
