 E. E. Bradley of oLun1n5ton, one of the republican candidates for se- lectman of the town of Stonington, has petitioned the superior court of New London county to disallow 99 votes with which H. J. Holdredge. one of the democratic candidates for the same office, and who was elected minority member of the board, was credited. The papers were served by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Tubbs.
 Bradley sets forth that Fl. A. Stahle and the petitioners were named as candidates for the office by the re- publican party, while Fernando Wheeler and H. T. Holdredge were nominated by the democratic partq. The election returns for the office were announced as follows: Stshle. 696; Bradley, 591; Wheeler, GAP; Hol- dredge 621
 The petitioner alleges that in the Fourth voting district of the town Holdredge was credited with SS votes which were illegally marked, accord ing to chapter 250 of the public acts of 1909. He petitions that these votes be disallowed and subtracted from number of votes with which Hold redge has been credited, making the figures read 532 instead of 621.
