→Overseeing the JA Ranch
In 1911, while she was in [[London]], Cornelia came upon her nephew, James Wolcott Wadsworth, Jr., then a former [[Speaker]] of the New York Assembly. She persuaded Wadsworth to take the vacant position of JA manager. He agreed, but after four years left again in 1915, having been elected in 1914 as a Republican to the [[United States Senate]] from New York, the first class elected under the [[Seventeenth Amendment]] to the [[United States Constitution]].<ref name=PPHM/>

One of the JA managers was [[Timothy Dwight Hobart]], a [[Vermont]] native whose experience was more in real estate than in raising cattle. He had surveyed the five million acres of the New York and Texas Land Company in Mobeetie, one of the first three settlements in the Panhandle. He was affiliated with the White Deer Land Company in Pampa in Gray County, Texas. He was also a president of the [[Fort Worth]]-based Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. Cornelia trusted him to be co-executor of her estate, of which there were many outstanding debts, not settled for two decades. Hobart was elected mayor of Pampa in 1927 but served only a few months.<ref name=PPHM/>
