MUCH FEELING OYER THE ELECTION

THE OPPOSITION TO TIE REGULAR TICKET IN
THE NEw-YoEK ATHLETIC CLUE.
The old trouble in the New-YorI Athletic Club
as set forth In The Tribune several weeks has
broken out afresh, and the election on Tuesday
january promises be the lveliest in the history
of the club. The opposition headed by Walter g.
Schuyler and four stanch lieutenants has been
working zealousy for some time and they are only
waiting for the posting of the regular nominations
before they begin actual crusade The chances OF
for the opposition seem small. for the
battle will be waged the same line of old.
August Belmont will net accept denomination
for president, and his successor will in all prob
ability be Barlow S. Weeks at least Mr. Weeks's
name will head the regular ticket. The officers TO
be voted for include a president vice-president.
a secretary treasurer, a captain and nine gov
ernors-eight governors for two years and for
year
The club now has 29OO members. OF whom 400
are voting members. and it is said that larger
vote will be called out at the coming election than
at any previous election ever held at the club Mr..
Belmont has been a conservative and popular
president He is deeply interested in the success
of the club and also in the election OF the regu-
lar ticket particularly the reelection of those men,
bers who served with him. Mr.. Belmont will go
TO Europe early in the year.
The Nominating Committee has been hard at
work OF late and while it has until December 30
in which 20 post its candidates. the work will be
completed In "a day two, and the nominations
will be posted before the present week is out
The opposition will be supported mainly by the
9Th Regiment element in the club. of which Mr..
Schuyler is the moving spirit. The "kickers' seem
10 think that the club should have supported the
9TH Regiment in its fight against the Amateur
Athletic Union. AS OF the charter members
and one OF the most earnest workers in the union.
the club naturally refused to do anything OF the
sort
The financial, social and athletic interests of the
club this year have been admirably handled. and
II looks IL the opposition will have hard time
to lind any outside of personal grievances on
which to base their attacks. 1T Is conceded that
Mr.. Weeks would make admirable official. and IL
was limited last night that Mr.. Belmont might ac-
ccpt denomination next year. The club is not
likely TO put football team In the field next
season. as the thinl-.g members realize that their
club, and other athletic club Tor that matter.
can hope to make a good showing against the great
college teams OF the country.
friend OF the opposition, when seen yesterday,
said that their ticket had already been agreed
upon, and that IL would be posted as soon as the
regular nominations were announced. The opposi-
ton ticket viii, 1t Is said. be made up as follows:
For president, Walter G.. Schuyler; secretary, f.
A. Dugro; treasurer. J. r. Van Wormer Hugh
Baxter will be the regular nominee for captain,
probably without opposition.
The regulars claim that Schuyler has lost many OF
his old supporters who elected him over Jennings s.
Cox In 1880 B. c. Williams, who directed the
Wall Street element in the club to Schuyler. will
support the regular ticket this year.
