Platt and Sons Win U. Express Suit Victory

Murphy May Not Be Eligible for Elections Board
The eligibility of Assemblyman Charles I. Murphy of Brooklyn to a Board of Elections seat to succeed the late Rudolph C. Fuller was referred to Corporation Counsel by Mayor McClellan. Murphy has Republican backing but questions arise from the constitutional rule barring legislators from state or municipal offices during their term. Murphy and allies argue the Board is a state body yet appointed by the mayor. The mayor asked Murphy and the party to prepare a brief for Pendleton.
