1t was announced by Prendergast
that Gillen n Conlon had been IL
legally elected and Alderman Day
made the motion TO refer this matter
also to the primary committee. Gillen
and Conlon were apparently elected at
a meeting OF the ward executive c0m-
mittee which had nor beer called by
the ward chairman, and Chairman
Parmly declared the organization ir-
regular. Mr.. Parmly stated that he
was familiar with the contest and that
he regrets hal the action of the Eighth
Ward committee was not in keeping
with the rules Of the county commit
tee. He said that he had spent three
hours with the members of the Eighth
Ward committee going over the ground
last Friday and that he at that time
and now ruled that the organization
was irregular.
Bells insisted upon being informed
why the organization should be irregu-
lar, and Prendergast volunteered the
information, but the chair thought this
unnecessary as long as the matter had
been referred to the primary commit
tee.

order by Chairman Parmly Benja-
min Seligman was elected temporary
chairman to conduct the election of a
