A decision handed down In the morning by
Justice Cullen Of the Supreme Court resulted
In unseating Supervisors Baisley and Lyman,
the representatives from Flatlands and Flat
bush respectively. and giving the seats to
Ryder and Hesterburg. The last named Is a
Democrat. Justice Cullen held that the candl-
dates elected at tho recent election were enti-
tied to their seats and this knocked out both
Baisley and Lyman. who were elected in 1892.
and maintained that their terms were for two
years instead OF one. In calling the roll yes.
