Impresario Said To Be Seeking New Site
Near Carnegie Music Hall.

According to report yesterday, Oscar Ham
mersteIn is seeking to get large site near the
Carnegie Music Hall which he intends to
erect an opera house. He was said TO have
made overtures with that object in view to
purchase plot 1OO5x1O4,2 feet at the northeast
corner of 57th street and Seventh avenue. owned
by Michael Coleman, and also parcel 1OO.5x
1912 feet at the southeast corner of 5Sth street
and Seventh avenue. owned by George a. Heline.
The two properties form the block front on
the east side of Seventh avenue. between 57th

not received recently offer for his plot. 1t
was learned, however. that Overtures to pUr-
chase the Heline property were made some
weeks ago. but the negotiations were abandoned.
Mr. Hammersten said last night that the two
parcels had been submitted to him, but that he
had not made an offer for them.
