with having aided in the alleged Tam
many theft of the Independence league
machinery in the September primaries
said in court yesterday that ne would
apply for warrant for the arrest II
William Randolph Hearst within the next
"a hours.
Culliver declared that the charge would
be election fraud, iii that Hearst failed
to obey the mandatory injunction Of sec.
tion 81 Of the election law, which speel.
fies that delegates chosen at primaries
must be summoned TO the convention
to which they are elected, even though
the convention does nothing more than
to adjourn sine die,
It Is held that Hearst called no con.
vention Of his delegates in this county
last fall and it was therefore within the
authority Of the delegates themselves
to convene and nominate. This they dia
under Tammanv dietation. which pre-.
cipitated the legal controversy.
