REPUBLICANS IN 0UANDARY OVER
 SOME OF WARDS
Four of Them Did Not File Tickets Within the
 Legal Time

Question as to the legality of seating delegates from the first, second, third and fourth wards at the coming republican city, town and school conventions possibly may be raised before the nomin- ating bodies meet next Thursday night. This is due to the fact that while the special call for the filing of primary tickets stipulated that the states should be filed at s. o. D.. headquarters the fifth ward group was the only one to comply with orders of the town committee. The otEer four tickets were given to Chairman Frederick W. Palomba at his office on Grand street.
 What Notice Stated
 The official notice specifically stated that "the chairman of the republican town comimttee will be at town committee headquarters. 27 Harrison avenue, to receive all lists of delegates to be filed at 5 p. m., standard time G p. m. day light saving time) on the third day preceding the holding of said primaries (Friday, September 6, 1035).
 Fifth ward republican leaders declared openly at g.o.p. head" quarters late yesterday afternoon that their slate of delegates was the only one legally filed. Chair man Palomba. they contended. had no right to accept tickets of dele gates in his private office.
 Fifth Ward on Time
 The fifth ward leaders arrived at g.o.p. headquarters at a quarter to 6 yesterday afternoon. The town chairman was conspicuous by his absence. The fifth ward lead CTS were prepared to wait until 6 o'clock and then nail their list or delegates on the door of head quarters. Finally word was rushed to Chairman Palomba that his presence was being demanded in conformity with the notice pub lished concerning the filing ot slates of delegates.
 At about five minutes to six Chairman Palomba rushed over with his brief case. He accepted
