The State Board OF Cnnvassers Refuse 70 No.
clare Him Elected.
ALBANY. Feb. 16.-The State Board Of Can.
vassers met to-day to act on the contention Of
Coleridge A. Hart of Brooklyn that there should
have been an election last fall instead of tho
previous year for a Justice Of tho Supreme
Court, Second Judicial district. to fill q vacancy
caused by the death In August, 1896. of Calvin
E. Pratt. The board canvassed tho amended
statement of votes given In Westcheste- county,
which was filed pursuant TO a court order. This
Mr.. Hart demanded that the State Canvassers
should declare that he had been elected.
Attorney.Genera Hancock thought this
should not be done, as the State Board OF Can
vassers had already passed upon the returns,
which 1t had decided mad elected four Supreme
Court Justices for the Second Judicial district.
II Hart was declared to have been elected, he
said. the board would be placed in the ridiculous
position OF having declared five Justices elected.
He therefore moved that Mr.. Harris demand be
denied. which motion was carried.
Mr.. Hart said that he would promptly mako
board to reoonvene and declare him elected;
after which he will ask the courts to decide that
u vacancy existea to which he was elected.
The only question in the case Is as to whether
there was time before the general election in
1896 for the legal filing of a nomination for the
office. The Constitution requires nominations
for tho Supreme Court bench TO be made three
months before election. Justice Pratt died on
Aug. 3 at IL A. NJ, and the election occurred on
Nov. 3, SO that Harris contcntionr rests upon the
point that there was not time enough by some
few hours for the legal filing OF a nomination
prior to the 1896 election.
