James J. Leff for appellant.

Joseph E. Ruggiero and Robert J. Feldman for objectors-respondents.

Samuel D. Smoleff for Citizens Union and another, amici curiae.

Order reversed and the prayer of the petition granted, without costs. We hold that there was no substantial violation of the requirement of section 135 of the Election Law that the pages of such a petition be “ numbered consecutively ”. We hold, also, that, under all the circumstances, the objectors were properly before the court. No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge Desmond and Judges Dye, Fuld, Van Voorhis, Burke, Foster and Scileppi. •
