Tottenville, Aug. %: = In an
opinion rendered by Corporation
Counsel Polk yesterday, there will be
an election for borough president
this fall for the borough of Rich
mond. This opinion was sought by
the Board of Elections following the
filing of the call for the designation
of a candidate for the Office of bor-
ough president by Chairman Joseph
O'Grady, of the Democratic general
committee. In the opinion, the term
of Borough President Calvin D. Van
Name, who was elected by the three
aldermen on. July 20, will expire De-
cember 81, 1915. Mr.. Van Name
will likely be candidate and there is
some talk by the Republicans to run
George Cromwell for the office again.
So confident were most people that
Mr.. Van Names tenure of Office
would cover the late borough presi-
dents unexpired term that the Pro-
gressiyes and Prohibitionists over
looked the filing of the primary call
for the Office Of borough president
The opinion was given out at noon
yesterday and caused a stir among
politicians in all parts of the bor-
ough because of some designations of
candidates that were made this week.
