Matter of Hylan

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 31, 1934
193 N.E. 342 (N.Y. 1934)

Opinion

Argued October 31, 1934

Decided October 31, 1934

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department.

Harry A. Gordon, Eric C. Gordon and Charles Norman Shaffer for appellants.

Robert E. Whalen, Charles J. Duncan, Anthony De Stefano, Edward S. Rooney, George W. Foy and George Myers for respondents.


Considering the fact that this is a summary proceeding, where prompt action is necessary, we find no question of law is presented which requires reversal. (Election Law [Cons. Laws, ch. 17], §§ 330, 335.)

The Supreme Court made "such order as justice may require," within the contemplation of the Election Law. (§ 330.) To order a new trial at this time for technical errors not affecting substantial rights would be a futility.

The order should be affirmed.

POUND, Ch. J., CRANE, O'BRIEN, HUBBS, CROUCH and LOUGHRAN, JJ., concur; LEHMAN, J., not sitting.

Order affirmed.
