In the Matter of the Objections Filed by George A. Schaefer, Respondent, to the Certificate of Nomination of Franklin Brooks, Appellant, for Member of Assembly, etc.

Headnote

Appeal from an order sustaining objections to a certificate of nomination.

We think that the requirement of the statute^[1] that the oaths of the officers of the convention be filed is directory; but the proof of the taking of- the statutory oaths presented at the Special Term was not sufficient. The order should, therefore, be affirmed. Present — Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Clarke, Miller and.Dowling-, JJ. Order affirmed.
