COURT SUSTAINS HAHN.
County Committee Cannot Unseat
Delegate srith Election Certificate.

Albany, June A county committee OF a poiiti-
cal organization has not the right TO unseat dele
gates elected at primaries if the delegates have
received a certificate of election from board or
election. This is the effect OF unanimous de-
cision handed down to-day, without an opinion, by
the Court of Appeals in which it orders reinstated
eighteen members OF the New York Republican
County Committee who were dropped from the
membership roll
The action begun by the unseated delegates
headed by John j. Hahn, who secured an oFoer'
directing that peremptory writ of mandamus Dc
issued TO restore them to membership in the COM
mttee. This order affirmed by the Appellate
Devision, 1st Department, and an appeal taken 10
the Court Of Appeals.
The delegates unseated after the committee

ported that the election OF Hahn and his colleagues
was accompanied by fraud bribery and intmida-

spring primaries this year. He is an anti-Par-
