WHAT a MEMBER SAYS.
4 member Of the club said to Tribune reporter
Yesterday: THE fact Of the matter l., HooTnoeek
was running this club suit himself at the expense
~ everybody else He has political ambition and
wants 70 go to Congress. That is the reason why
he made the headquarters Of the club In an Ness
Place which is entirely out of the way OF mch-ol-
varsmen being at West Fourth and Charles SITS.
You can easily see what a large number OF votes
he could control in this part Of the city. Mer-oi-
wars men are VIGOROUSLY clannsh. When they get
ashore they feel that they in the enenys coun-
try and that Their only safety IS in sticking TO-
rether Hoornbeek evidently aware OF this.
Special election laws apply 10 men enlisted IN t'c
United States Navy. BY putting a little baggage
in a boarding house clearinghouse ana staying
there a few DAYS they are entitled 70 vote IN any
uOrt in the United States. You can see what a ire
iuendous vote HOOrnbeek could cast II he got the
Confidence Of the members OF this club. In the re-
ceiying ship Vermont alone there are LOO men
MANI of whom would secure rght 10 Noie IN
Hoornbeeks district if they believed they were help
ing a shpmate by doing In furtherance OF tnls
scheme Hoornbeek inserted paragraph IN MS APP
plicaton for charter for the club 10 the secretary
OF State. making the clubhouse legal voting resi-
dence for the members.
HE TRIED TO FORCE AN ENTRANCE
Mr. Hoornbeek attempted to force an entrance into
the clubhouse few days ago. but William Lynott'
the steward, with several other members OF the
club prevented him from entering. Hoornbeek has
retaliated by having the steward arrested. 1t Is
said that Hoornbeek has contracted bills with a
number of tradesmen in the neighborhoOd OF the
cluhhouse in the name Of the club. The eX-treaS-
urer Of the club is we'll known In naval circles nav
ing begin his service in the old sloop-o-~ar sara
toga He was transferred to the kearsarte, IN
which ship he held the rank OF payInasterS cIe'N.
A meeting of the governors Of the Navy 'iup was
held last night at Segele'S Hotel, SANDS ana WASH
ington sts Brooklyn. at which ii was decjded 70
