Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

It is well settled that the court has no inherent power to review the action of the election officers or boards of canvassers, but, before it can act, must find authority to do so in the Election Law. Matter of Tamney v. Atkins, 209 N. Y. 202, 102 N. E. 567. We find no provision of law authorizing the court to_ vacate the certificates against which this motion was directed.

Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements to the intervener, respondent Isaac Spiegel.
