ordering and directing the State Board
of Canvassers to reconvene and recan-
vass the vote for District Delegates to
the Constitutional Convention in the
Sixth Senatorial District. which includes
part of Kings and Richmond Counties.
The petitioners were the Democratic
Candidates. William NJ. Mullen. James
W. Riggs, Eugene A. Curran. George W.
Roderick and Thomas w. Fitzgerald.
The reasons set forth in the affidavits
were that the Board. in compiling the
returns, failed to include the Richmond
delegates. who. II counted In, would
have given the Democrats a majority.
William NJ. Mullen appeared for the
petitioners and Charles l.. .Cashley,, Of
New York City, in opposition: The
matter was argued at length. No refer
ence was made to the Gravesend matter.
The Court held that the Board was
merely a ministerial body. and not 2
judicial one, and ordered the writ issued;
This writ will insure the seating Of
the Democrats for the time being, but
the Republican members will appeal.
