Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Walter T. Warren, Respondent, for an Order of Mandamus against The Board of Elections of the City of New York and Others, Commanding and Directing the Said Board of Elections to Permit the Said Walter T. Warren to Designate the Party of His Selection on His Enrollment as a Voter in the County of Richmond, City and State of New York, Appellants.

Opinion:
Appeal from order directing the board of elections to permit petitioner to designate the party of his selection on the enrollment books as an enrolled voter of Richmond county dismissed, without costs. The issue raised by this appeal has become academic by lapse of time. It is not one that reasonably can be expected to arise frequently and is not of such general interest and importance as to call for a departure from the practice not to decide abstract questions.
