Mayor Gaynor intervened in a case involving an 82 year old deputy chief clerk in New York City's board of elections. After being discharged for age, the man sought reinstatement and gained a restoration to a position two weeks prior, despite the board's lack of vacancy and the mayor's limited authority.
