dropouts look vertical, so the answer is no without the ENO hub

you need one of these...https://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/wheels1.html#559
I would sell it and buy a fixed. It will probably end up cheaper and you'll be happier.

That's a great bike. I had one and upgraded to a full carbon road bike, but rode that bike all over creation.
Don't convert it - you'd be ruining a great design. If you're set on riding a fixed gear, sell or trade it for what you want.
