Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Charles B. Barfield, Appellant, v. The Board of Elections of the City of New York, Respondent.
(Argued October 31, 1917;
decided November 1, 1917.)
Matter of Barfield v. Board of Elections, N. Y, City, 180 App. Div.--, affirmed.
Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered October 25, 1917, which reversed an order of Special Term granting an application for an order directing the board of elections of the city of New York to receive and file certificates of nomination of Charles B. Barfield for the office of member of assembly from the twenty-second district and place his name upon the ballots as candidate for such office. Mr. Barfield sought to file an independent certificate of nomination with the board of elections nominating him as candidate under the bull’s eye emblem, for the office of member of assembly of the twenty-second assembly district, county of Kings. This petition was rejected by the board of elections upon the ground that it did not contain a sufficient number of signatures.
Benjamin Reass for appellant.
Lamar Hardy, Corporation Counsel (George A. Green and Thomas F. Magner of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
Order affirmed, with costs, on authority of Matter of Richards (221 N. Y. 684).
