The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-25

Saturday night to employ an attorney to
look after the standing of the members of
the company and their status as members
of the Fire Department.
The contest of Max Gdndlach against the
recent reelection of T. K. Krauth Jr. has
narrowed down to one point, namely that
Krauth did not receive a majority of the
votes, because seventeen who cast ballo is
for him were not entitled to do so because
they were not members of the Fire De-
partment.
The names OF the seventeen voters chal-
lenged by Gundlach will be summoned
before the Trustees, and under oath asked
to state whom they voted for. Whatever
the result the matter will be taken into
court for settlement and to make prece-
dent. 1t is claimed by some that the
Trustees cannot order reelection, because
a definite day is set by law on which the
election must be held and that no other
one can be substituted.
The contest presents many entangling
questions, and much interest is mani
tested in the outcome. krauth was de-
clared elected by only six votes out of $50.
If the seventeen which, it is said, have
been voted for Krauth are thrown out,
Gundlach will be declared elected Chief by
a majority of eleven votes.
