There are between thirty and forty of them, and the amounts each has paid in range from $5 to $50,
 Attorney J. Birney Futile represent ed the club members. The principal point in the controversy seemed to be as to whether the trustee, when ap pointed, should allow a Boston firm, from whom it is claimed that the Hen dee company bought a bill of goods on memorandum, to take the goods back,
 Another point in the contest is over the appointment of a trustee, some of the creditors objecting to Thomas B. Merwin as he had been suggested by the assignor.
 Attorney J. F. Goodhart, who repre- sented an attaching creditor, w. H. Lent & Go. of Boston, was one of the principal objectors.
 MT Goodhart's clients claim $3, 303 Neal & Morse have a claim of $5,24O.
 Attorney II. w, Asher, who appeared for the latter, stated that he appeared for Neal, Morse & Go. and that he had been instructed to favor MT. Merwin, also that his clients would certainly claim the goods in the store having sent them down on memorandum, and that he should institute replevin proceedings to recover them as soon as the trustee was appointed.
 Attorney G. R. Cooley, who appeared for the assigning debtor, said that MT. Goodhart's clients were secured be- cause a large number of uncollected book accounts had been assigned to them.
 A partial list of the creditors showed that F. D. Hendee had a claim of $775 for services, that w G. Hendee of South Manchester had a claim of $179 H. F. Hendee one of s95. H. A. Warner one of s150, and T. E. Crawford one of SIT.
 Attorney Futile stated that there were between thirty and forty members of suit clubs, some of whom he repre- scented, and that they objected to MT Merwin, favoring the appointment of some one who would not give up the goods claimed by Neal, Morse & Co., who are themselves insolvent.
 Judge Cleaveland stated that while he had every confidence in MT. Merwin some one else should be appointed in view of the opposition. At his sugges- tion a conference between all of the parties interested will be held to deter mine whether they can agree upon a trustee, and 1t was said by MT. Good hart that it was possible that some ar engagements might be made so that MT Hendee might go on with the business With this understanding the meeting was postponed until next Wednesday.
