Dewey Sets Two Special Election Dates for Vacancies

The move followed a telegram from Democratic Chairman James Farley urging prompt action amid a clerical error that had overstated a vacancy in the Twelfth District. The Fourth covers part of Brooklyn, while the Eleventh includes Staten Island and lower Manhattan.
