RECOUNT DECISION
Is DUE NEXT WEEK
Whitman-Smith Controversy
Over Election Reaches the
Court Of Last Resort.
Special Despatch 10 TIE Sun.

Albany, Dec. 4.-Governor-elect
Smiths claim that Gov. Whitman has
no legal right to a recount Of bal
lots cast In New York city for the
Governorship until after a certificate
OF election has been issued to Mr..
Smith reached the Court OF Appeals
to-day. This is the court OF last re-
sort and a decision is expected by next
week.
The appeal is based upon the de-
cision by Justice Fawcett Of the SUI
preme Court, who issued an order
granting a recount to the Governor
OF the votes cast in Richmond Bor-
ough. The Appellate Division upheld
the Fawcett decision. Abram l. Elkus
and Senator James A. Foley, counsel
for Mr.. Smith. filed their objections
to this decision with the Court of
Appeals to-day, and argued that the
application upon which Justice Faw-
cett acted did not specify sufficient
grounds for granting the recount.
Gov. Whitman's counsel had until to-
day to file an answering brief.
The Court OF Appeals will hear ar
guments Friday afternoon upon the
appeal by Mr.. Smith from a decision
by Justice Philbin granting n recount
in The Bronx. but delaying it until
after Mr.. Smith receives a certificate Of
election The decision, considered favor
able to Mr.. Smith, has been affirmed by
the Appellate Division. and it is con-
sidered probable that the decision of
the Court OF Appeals on the question
OF The Bronx ballots will have the
effect OF determining all the actions
for a recount.

SEE SPOILS SYSTEM
IN JOBS IN SCHOOL
Public Education Association
Accuses Board.

Failure OF the Board of Education
to appoint principals for the Morris
High School, in the Bronx, and Public
School 16, in Queens, led to the charge
yesterday that the spoils system Is
being returned and that the old fric-
ton between the Board of Superin-
tendents and the Board Of Education
has not been eliminated.
The charge was made by the Public
Education Association, whose director
Miss Agnes de Lima, sent O letter to
the Board of Superintepdents urging
the superintendent to stand firm In
their determination to pick school
principals on the basis Of personal
merit and not because OF political or
local affiliations which candidates may
have with members Of the Board OF
Education. The superintendent will
meet again to-day. when the matter
Of designating principals will come ur
again.
George d. Ryan, the Queens mem.
her of the Board Of Education, Miss
de Lima charges, has stood firm fol
the appointment Of Miss Cording, hi,
personal choice, for the place. The
Board Of Superintendent has made
two recommendation of men candl.
dates, but both have been turned
down.
mfr. Ryan has, however" said G
statement given out by the associa.
ton, succeeded thus far in holdinE
UP the matter. even going to the
length Of preventing Miss Cordine
from taking the principalship Of an.

The school has been without q prin.
cipal for nearly year.
