    In the Matter of the Application of Martin J. Flam, Petitioner, Respondent, for the Determination by the Court as to the Designation of John E. Hand and Josephine Costabile, Appellants, for the Party Positions of Members of the Democratic State Committee from the Twentieth Assembly District of New York County. S. Howard Cohen and Others, Constituting the Board of Elections in the City of New York, Respondents.
    First Department,
    March 27, 1940.
    
      
      Henry J. O’Hagan of counsel [Henry J. O’Hagan and Michael Goodman, attorneys], for the appellants.
    
      Martin J. Flam of counsel [Archie H. Brin with him on the brief; Flam & Flam, attorneys], for the petitioner, respondent.
    
      Russell Lord Tarbox, for the respondent Board of Elections of the City of New York.
   Per Curiam.

The order should be reversed and the motion denied. In our opinion the evidence before the court at Special Term was not sufficient to indicate that fraud was committed in the procurement of signatures to the petitions under review. The board of elections is, therefore, directed to print the names of John E. Hand and Josephine Costabile on the ballot of the primary election to be held on April 2, 1940, for the party positions of members of the Democratic State Committee for the twentieth Assembly district, New York county.

Present — Martin, P. J., O’Malley, Townley, GlennoN and Untermyer, JJ.

Order unanimously reversed, without costs, and motion denied.
