No Appointments To Be Made Until the
Courts Decide the ISSUE
GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS OPINION.


The four Police ommissioners about con-
vening the Board meeting at thirty five minutes past
eleven A. NJ yesterday and were filing into the Board
room when clerk from the law Office OF David Dud-
ley Field handed to each Of the Commissioners .
copy of Judge Westbrook's order to show why
the inspectors of election appointed by Tammany
Hall should not be approved by the Board, and also
enjonng the Commissioners in the interim from ap-
pointing any democratic inspectors but those sub
mitted by Tammany Hall. There was little surprise
expressed by any of the Commissioners upon the
receipt OF Judge westbrook's injunction. such
action was anticipated. The Board called to
order by Commissioner French when Commissioner
MacLean officially acknowledged the receipt OF
Judge Westbrook's order and the accompanying aff-
davts. He moved that the order be referred to the
Corporation Counsel and he be requested to take
such action as he deemed to be in conformity with
the law.
The following is Judge westbrook's order and the
accompanying atfidavits:-
