Mandamus Compels Danbury Democrats to Back Keane
In Danbury a Superior Court judge issued a mandamus ordering the Democratic town committee to remove any candidate other than Jeremiah A. Kane from the alderman ballot in the Fourth Ward for March 31. The writ names six committee members and sets a hearing for tomorrow at 2 p.m. Keane’s supporters argue the committee had no right to name Keating as nominee, and contend the contest belongs to a primary rather than the town committee. John McNamara’s status remains unsettled as he waits court action.
