The Mayor Auditor and Controller have assumed

Friends OF these men were examining to-day tho
complaints filed against the latter by the Democrats
who contest their seats. A more obviously manu-.
featured set Of complaints was never before presented
m an Assembly One OF the complaints 10
smpy that two election polling places were In the same
building. Another is that one polling place was not
as large as directed by the Saxon Ballot Reform law.
still another complaint charges vaguely that theIo
were q good many defective ballots polIed in that AS

voted these ballots voted for the contestant II these
Republicans are TO be unseaed upon such complaints
then every other Republican can be expelled for the

Governor Hill, Of course, has selected as MS points
of attack such Republican districts as gave only small

districts in which small puralltles were given should
