William Loeb requests that another representative be sent in place of Mr. McCoy for the rest of the Presidential trip. The request should not be interpreted to McCoy’s detriment as he is obviously knowledgeable in railroad matters. However, he does not possess the “peculiar qualifications necessary for the conduct of a Presidential tour” and does not get along well with the other members of the party.
