BUTTLING Against D<DE.
Former Sheriff Wants tn Appoint Election
Omoers from His District.

Argument was had before Judge Hurd In
the County Court In Brooklyn yesterday on
the orders obtained by former Sheriff William
]. Buttllng Of the Fifth ward. Floyd Adams OF
tho Nineteenth ward. Andrew Jacobs OF tho
Sixth ward and William J. Extance OF the
Twenty-lfth ward compelling Col Michael j.
Dady, Chairman OF the Republican Executive
Committee. to show cause why the lists OF
primary and election officials submitted by
the petitioners should not lie authenticated
and the lists already authenticated from these
for Mr.. Butting, contended that the rules Of
the Republican County Committee specified
that the appointments Of primary and election
officials should be made by the executive
members from each ward and by no one else.
He said that tho object OF the Primary law
was to prevent fraud Mt the primaries
30 that voters might he free and un-
trammelled in their choice and that they might
be sure that their votes would be counted Mr..
Hirsh said that Col. Dady had no power to orig
mate list OF election officials. His authority
was simply to authenticate the lists submitted
to him by the various mem bers Of the Fxecu-
tive Committee. He also contended that Col.
Dady in appointing certain election officials in
the Fifth ward. had econmended as Repubi-
cans men whose names were enrolled as Dem
ocrats.
r !hHk Wiz uIpeuTeu LOT Vol.
Dady. said there was nothing in the rules that
compelled the Chairman Ot the Executive
Committee to authenticate the lists su omitted
by the executive members.
The political chisttain of Mr. Buttling, Mr..

turning down the lists OF men in factions OPP

Mr. Field then read the aftldavit OF Col Dady
In which he said that in many instances the

when he was Executive Committeeman from
the Third ward, the MINES recommended by
bin were rejected by Frank Mccall, who was
Chairman of the Executive Committee. He
denied that he had recommended the appoint
