AGREEMENT AMONG THE MEMBERSHIP
GROWING DETECTION OF GOOD
GOVERNMENT CLUBS
a special meeting Of the City Club has been
called for Monday evening to consider the present
condition OF city politics in general and the poh'
ical activity of a number of the members OF the
club in particular. There is likely to be lively
discussion OF the Good Government ticket ana OF
the attitude OF the City Club toward that ticket
Considerable impatience and vexation have been
EXPRESSED already because some Of the men VINO
have been prominent la the management or the
affairs of the City Club have also been most active
in forcing the Good Government clubs to nomi-
nate an independent county ticket and In keep
ing that ticket in the field after the Fusion ticket
nominated.
In the call for the meeting II Is said that the
president acted by request Of twenty-five mem-
bers as provided by the constitution OF the club,
and the object OF the meeting Is told thus: The
purpose of the meeting is to consider the present
political situation in thus city, and to determine
what action II any. shall be taken by the CLUB.
The business Is so important that the presence OF
every member is especially desired. In order TO
insure action In accordance with the views OF the
majority Of the members" The call is signed by
James W. Pryor. the secretary OF the club' VINO
Members of the club who talked with Tribune
reporter Yesterday were not willing to admit that
there was much bitterness of feeling on account
of the split In the club over the Good Government
ticket but they admitted that in all probability
there would be some warm words spoken at the
meeting on Monday evening Trouble in the club
was inevitable. they said when some OF the mem
bers were the chief boomers OF the Good Govern
ment ticket and the other members were earnest
supporters of the Fusion ticket.
James c. Carter, the president OF the CLUB mas
accepted an invitation to preside at mass-mee'-
Ing in Cooper Union next week under the manage
ment Of the Committee OF Fifty. Among other
influential members of the City Club who are
supporters Of the Fusion ticket are wheeler H.
Peckham. Everett p Wheeler. J. Kennedy Tod
william T.. Dodge and John e. Parsons Among
the members who have been most active In Keep
ing the Good Government ticket In the field are
Mr. Pryor who receives 5000 year from the ciup
for his services as secretary; Preble Tucker H.
w G. Yelling and r. Fulton Cutting Mr. Pryor
and Mr. yelling were among the twenty-five
members who signed the request for the call for
the meeting on Monday evening and some or
their friends said yesterday that there was no
reason to suppose that an attempt would be made
to discipline them for their activity as supporters
OF the Good Government ticket.
An effort will doubtless be made at the meeting
n have the City Club take ground in favor OF the
Good Government ticket. and 1t Will be resisted
by the more conservative members or the ciup.
Judging by the talk among the club members
Yesterday IL Is not unlikely that the ciuD VIII
declare its preference for the Fusion ticket In
the event of serious disagreement. II Is possible
that there may be defections from the
club. Efforts are being made S .ta 10 nave ah u'''
The detection among the Good Government
clubs has now reached stage in which the ieau-
ers Of the third ticket movement may wen con.
slider the advisability Of Withdrawing the ticket

federaton-Clubs B, d, f, F, p Q and X-have
bolted the ticket nominated at the convention IN
the United Charities Building and Will support the
Fusion ticket There are twenty clubs IN the ieo-

its members are well-known supporters or the
Fusion ticket. including Jacob II. Schln, everett

Influence In the club Is not likely TO have more
weight than the influence OF Henry r. kunnardt
In Club b. or Of r. W. G. Welling and Preble
Tucker In Club ID, or OF NJ d. Rothschild IN

The relative strength OF the clubs which have
already repudiated the Good Government ticker
Indicates that the ticket Will not receive more
than a few hundred votes II II Is kept In the
field. 1t Is known also that many members OF
the clubs which have voted TO ratify this ticket
have declared their intention to vote for the
Fusion ticket.
