RYDER, SUPERVISOR.
Justice Cullen Declares Him
Elected Instead Of Baisley.
i Step towards Deposing Boss
Mckane from the Presidency.
With kehoe Out Kings County Board
VIII he Republican.

Ex-Supervisor Richard l.. Baisley. who
asserts that he is still entitled to a seat
in the Kings County Board Of Super
visors, from the town of Flatlands, de-
spite the fact that a large majority Of
his townsmen decided by their votes
that he should remain at home, received
a Knockout blow this morning.
1t came in the form of a decision by
Justice Cullen. Baisley held that his
term of office was two years. Justice
Cullen rules that one year Is the legal
term. and shows that Clerk Farrell, Of
the Board. was too previous in putting
Baisley's name on the roll this year
He is now ordered to erase it, and put
the name of James l.. Ryder, the Re-
publican superintendent. in its place.
With Baisley out and a Republican
seated in the place of Kehoe, Of the
Eighth Ward of Brooklyn, the complex
ion of the Board will be Republican.
Justice Cullen's decision Is a step to-
wards the deposition of Boss John Y.
McKane from the temporary Presidency
OF the Board of Supervisors.
Justice Cullen's decision is as follows:
The validity of statutes passed in the
form of those Of 1881, 1890, 1892 and 1893 has
been determined by the Court OF Appeals
which held that such statutes are not
local acts within the constitutional pro-
hibition.
lac rule hat general statutes will not
usually be construed as repeating special
statutes has no application to this case.

special which are inconsistent with 1t:

that question at any length. as this
Court passed upon 1t at the proceeding
reIative to the contest for Mayor In
Long Island City, last year.
The clerk erred In placing the name OF
the old Supervisor on the rolls. He
should have placed the name of the re-
lator. He must now correct the error sc
far as 1t lies In his power.

will take is not for the Court to antici-
