NJ VACANCY |S AS YET FOUND
 LIN COMMISSION
Judge Lyman Overrules the
 Demurrer of Attorney
 General and State Gets One More Chance In Case

Overruling the demurrer. Judge Ly- man yesterday made the first ruling in the injunction proceedings brought by Andrew Baumert, Jr., to restrain sidney ?. Osborn, secretary of state, from placing the name of a candidate for the office of the state tax com mission on the ballot at the coming election.
 From the tone of the court proceed iugs yesterday it would seem that there will not be a vacancy on the commits sion to be filled this year.
 After everything the demurrer. Judge Lyman asked counsel for the defendant fl they would care to make any further response and when Assistant Attorney General Harbin stated that he would file an answer the court said he would grant two days for the filing of the paper intimating that unless additional showing were made the order as made would stand. In the meantime the secretary will be unable to act in the matter as the court made a further order restraining the defendant pend ing a further showing to be made by him as to why an injunction should not be issued forbidding the issuance of a notice for a primary election of a state tax commissioner.
 Claiming that no vacancy will exist in the state tax commission. the plain tiff contends that an election can not be held for the office this year.
 The history of the commission was reviewed and it was stated that when the act creating the commission went ynto effect the governor appointed three members whose terms were to expire 1913, 1915 and 1917. In view of the fact that an election was not held in 1914 the terms of two of the governor s appOintees expired at the same time and two commissioners were elected to office the statutes providing that their terms last for a period of six years. In 1914 c. M. Zander and Thomas F. Campbell were elected by the people and when Campbell became governor he appointed Rudolph Kuchler to sue ceed him on the commission. The plaintiffs claim that Kuchler and Zand. CT are entitled to complete their terms while the defendants hold that one oi the commissioners was elected for foul years and the other for six, charging that Kuchler appointed by the de factt governor was serving illegally.
 According to F. c. Struckmeyer fol the defense. Kuchler was never entitled 10 sit as a commissioner, the lawyer stating that the appointment was mad, bv de facto governor. His main con tention, however, was that under tn, statute a commissioner must be elect ed every two years"
 When Kuchler's name was repeatedl, brought into the argument he aske, why he had not been brought in party to the suit and ". F. Ryan, 10
