Lawyer Stephen F. Somogyi,
Saturday afternoon, obtained an or
der from Justice J. ]. Bergen, of the
Supreme Court, to have the names
of the six republican aspirants for
sGouncilmen placed on the official ball
lots of the primary election tomor-
row.
The order, which is known as a
writ of mandamus, was served on
City Clerk LaRoe shortly before
o'clock Saturday night by John Han
son, who has fled a petition for the
nomination for councilman in the
first ward.
City Attorney Hommann was
shown the order by the city clerk
later and he advised that the bal
lots h reprinted and the names of
the cUuncilmen included. When
seen by a NEWS reporter, this morn
ing, the city attorney was not in a
mood to discuss the matter, and
when asked If he had adgised the
city clerk to reprint the ballots with
the councilmen's names on them,
said that when the courts ordered
anything he never advised to the
contrary.
, Mr.. LaRoe said this morning that
he Is. having the ballots reprinted
3r1d that they would be ready to-
hight.
