Supreme Court Justice Cohaan re-
served decision yesterday on the applica-
ton for writ OF mandamus against
tho state Boxing Commission brourht by
Frank G. Hayden. attorney for the Man
haitian Athletic Club OF America. The APP
plicatipn was opposed by Deputy Attorney
General Robert J.. Boyer. Justice CO.
halau explained 10 the attorneys on both
sides that the question to bc decided
was whether or not the commission had
abused It's discretion.
Mr.. lIaydens statement OF tho Man
haitian Athletic Clubs side OF the case
showed that Commissioner OMEN had
been unable to lind any flaws In the bond
and lease submitted by the club 10 the
commission for inspection, The reply of
the commission to this charge was that 1t
had reason to believe that tho lease might
not he bona fdc aud that in refusing TO
grant a license tho commission was act
ing for the hest interests of boxing.
"Wcll." finally said the court to Mr.
Boyer, you contend that the commission
did not exceed the bounds Of rcasonab bile

was presented and the other side con-
tends that the commission did exceed such
bounds 7 understand the matter thor
