Commissioners of Election
Under Fire for Changes
in the Precinct Boards
sTEFFENS A FUGITIVE
Police Believe He Has Fled.
Judge SlOss Hears the
Petition to Free Wyman

The Election Commissioners are now
on the rack in connection with the
frauds at the primary election. The
five members of the board, A. w
yoorsanger. E. c. Lefhngwell, ]. A
Devote, Thomas Mcguire and R. ".
Roberts, were before the Grand Jury
last evening, and 1t looked for while
as If they would be indicted forthwith
for failure to observe the law as to the
appointment Of election officers. After
deliberation the jurors decided to make
further investigation, and when they
adjourned the statement was given out
that definite action may be taken next
Thursday afternoon, when another
meeting will be held
Each of the Commissioners, when
called before the jury last evening,
was asked the following questions:
Are you aware of the requirement
of the law that election officers must
be Taxpayers" Are you aware that an
election officer must have been a resi-
dent of the precinct in which he serves
for at least thirty days?"
The answers in each case were in
the affirmative, and when explanation
was attempted that in the opinion of
the Commissioners the statute was un-
constitutional in that il required a
property qualification for a person to
hold public office, Chairman Lilienfeld
promptly called a halt and excused the
witness.
The Commissioners were willing to
ADMIT that they had not obeyed the
statute. and this fact appeared 10 be
sufficient for the Grand Jury. But
when the matter was thrashed out lat
er by the jurors the basis for accusa-
tion did not appear so clear TO them
as when the testimony was being
taken.
The night before the primaries a
number of changes in boards of cleo
tion officers were made in the Regis
tTars office. In the Eightieth or
"Almshouse" precinct only one officer
served of those originally appointed.
The five substitutes were appointed at
the eleventh hour and were not resi-
dents of the precinct. In precincts 73
and 103 there were similar changes at
the last moment.
