VACANCIES VEDERFR
GRADY BEATS ROCKS INDEPEND-
ENCE LEAGUE PETITION.


Something like order was made out Of
the chaos in the Board Of Elections yester-
day. The Board sat from Q o'clock on
Monday morning to 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning.
In the judiciary matter it decided against
the Judiciary Nominators and this allows
the. Independence League to put the name
OF John j. Brady on its ticket for Justice
Of the Supreme Court In place OF Matthew
p. Breen, who declined. This makes tho
Tammany ticket and the ticket Of the In
dependence League the same for Justices
! OF the Supreme Court. Otto Rosalsky for
General Sessions Judge is on the Republican
and Independence League tickets, n
Francis s. McAvoy is IN the Tammany
ticket for the same Office.
In the other protests the miscellaneous
Independence League nominations suffered
badly. The league won on it's fight for
the scales, but when it came to specific
protests against the petitions on the ground
OF irregularity and In some instances Of
fraud the league candidates, real or nomi-
nal, disappeared from the field in many
districts. In many cases the Tammany
candidate gets into both columns Of the
ballot, in some cases there are opposition
candidates: in some cases the Hearst column
will be blank; all this provided the courts
uphold the board.
In the Congress fight d. j. Riordan, Henry
NJ. Goldfogle, William Sulzer. Charles v.
Fornes and Francis Y. Shober have the
league Endorsement. In the Twelfth Charles
f. Gehring is running against W. Bourke
Cochran, and there are league candidates
in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and EiGh-
tenth districts. In the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth districts there are no Hearst
candidates against John j. Halligan and
Francis Burton Harrison.
Among the Senate districts the most
interesting fight was in the Fourteenth.
Thomas +. Grady filed a league petition,
but it was not certified by the corporation,
and it was thrown out. Thomas Rock
was nominated by the Republicans and
he, too, was nominated by a league petition
having the official stamp. Grady alleged
that Rocks name was written in after the
petitioners had signed-a convenient but
illegal way OF getting up a petition in a
hurry. The board sustained this protest
and there is no league candidate In the
district. In the Twentieth district Fraw-
ley's league petition and James A. Lyons
likewise were thrown out, and there is no
name for the Hearst column.
The following list shows the candidates
for Congress. Senate and Assembly who
will get into the Hearst column on the ballot
in this county il the courts uphold the de-
cisionS of the board. Where districts are
omitted there is no league candidate.

an appeal to the Appellate Division to-
morrow, at a special session to be held for

sented TO Justice Bowling will be the decision
of the board that only candidates with the
o. X. Of the Independence League, in
corporated, are entitled TO have their names
on the bsllot in the column under the scales
emblem. Both Republican and Tammany
Hall candidates are going to fight this de-
cisiOn TO the last ditch. The GoldfogIe-
Adler, Grady-Rock. Sohmer- Harawitz and

ton Of the Judiciary Nominators to a GER
tifcate substituting John J. Brady. the

on the judiciary ticket.
SAT- THEIR PETITIONS WERE MUrILATED
AT THE BUREAU.
The league men who were turned down
are kicking. Franklyn Quinby, who lost
his case in the Eighth Congress- district
because he hadn't names enough on his
petition, says that eight sheets OF names
were stolen from his list after IL was filed
at the Bureau Of Elections.
Thomas +. Long, who wanted to run
for the Senate in the Thirteenth, says that
papers containing 448 names were stolen
in the Bureau Of ElectionA Godfrey Leh-
