PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.--One OF
the surprise moves BY the Smith
managers in this city was Obtainnng
d court order to restrain the county
commissioners from destroying The

as has been the practice.
Judge Thomas d. Finletter
granted the order upon the petition
OF Thomas A. O'Hara. candidate
for Congress on the Democratic
ticket in the seventh district. so.
yember 10 was set as the date Of
a hearing to show cause why .le
order should not be made pern,a.
nent.
The petition sets forth that under
the law the county commission
are required to preserve for twn
years the ballots which they havs
caused to be printed. and that Cor
the last five years the extra bal
lots have been destroyed within a
few weeks after the elections. Since
the extra ballots are valuable In
cases OF contested elections, the
Democratic leaders insist they shall
be kept intact.
