MUSTER OF UNION CLUB FORCES.

House. u 1t will Pay Enough.


The members of the Union Club held a spe-
cal meeting last evening, principally to deter
mine whether the club should buy tho Stewart
mansion. of which they had the refusal until
Friday next, but incidentally to settle the
question whether the clubs committee on site
has been exactly fair to the Manhattan Club in
bidding for the building after the Manhattan
Club had nut in the first bid Some animated
letters had been sent to members OF the Union
Club by Mr.. G. G. Baldwin. member Of both
clubs and by MIR. +. r. Coudert Of the Manhat-
tan Club. complaining that it was well known
that the Manhattan Club had offered 100000
for the house. and that tie Stewart Lers were
willing to accept the offer. Tho negotiations
had never been abandoned. Now tho Union
Club had cut In and got on the inside track by
Offering Il larger sum.
The correspondence was printed and circu-
lated among tho Union Club mcmbers ycstsr-
day, and many members were strongly inclined
to believe that the Committee on Site had acted
In an unbrotherly way toward the Manhattan.
