ANTI-GAMBLING CONTEST ON.
Election Omcers cited TO show Cause why RE-
jected Ballots should Not he Counted.


TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 15.-Late this afternoon
after the Court Of Errors and Appeals had ad-
journed. ex-senator Edwards made application
to Justices Van Syckel, Dixon, and Collins, sit
ting as a branch OF the Supreme Court, for
rule to show cause why a mandamus should
not issue directed to the election boards of
about 300 election districts in the State, COM
pelling them to recount the ballots cast in the
special election held on Sept. %, on the pro-
posed constitutional amendments, and reQuir-
Ing them to count the 96l ballots which were
rejected.
Justice Van Syckel interrupted Mr.. Edwards
to inquire how he was going to get over the fact
that the law provided that the Governor should
issue his proclamation announcing the result OF
the election, and that this had been done and
two of the amendments had been declared adopt
ed and were now a part of the Constitution.
Justice Dixon answered the question by ex-
planning that Senator Edwards relied on the
provision of the Constitution which required
that amendments should be adoped by ma
iority vote of the people, and the Legislature
this provision. Ii the. race track amendment
had not received majority Of the votes it had
not been adopted in the manner required.
Mr.. Edwards was directed to notify Attor-
ney.General Grey to be present Tomorrow
