MR PAVEY NOT INELIGIBLE.

Doubts of the eligibility OF Assemblyman Frank d.
Pavey for State Senator In the XVIII District have
been raised in quarters. but they do not seem
10 require serious consideration. They based
upon the circumstance that Mr. Pavey Is the attor.
new for the East River Bridge Commission. re-
Gently organized. and therefore holds a municipal
office The opinion OF good lawyers. both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. is that there is nothing Of
consequence on which base such contention. and
that Mr.. Pavey is in wise disqualified for eec-
ton to the Senate
CORPORATION Counsel Scott was asked yesterday
II there was any reason for supposing that Mt
Pavey was Ineligible to election TO the Senate.
..I do not think there Is anything In the objection
said to have been raised in Mr. Pavey's case" Mr.
Scott replied. II have not examined the matter
with sufficient to give a positive opinion upon
IT, but do not see how 1t can be made TO appear
that Mr. Pavey holds municipal office. The East
River Bridge Commission for which he Is the at
torney is not a municipal but a State Commission.
The decisions of the courts are generally adverse to
unfolding the contention OF inelgibility In cases
SIMILAR 10 that OF Mr.. Pavey. II Is my impres.
sion that his election would be valid"
Mr. Choate has written opinion showing that
Mr.. Pavey is not Ineligible.
