New York Court of Appeals
In Re Petition Purporting to Nominate Hylan, 193 N.E. 342 (N.Y. 1934)

In Re Petition Purporting to Nominate Hylan
Opinion of the Court
Considering the fact that this is a summary proceeding, where prompt action is necessary, we find no question of law is presented which requires reversal. (Election Law [Cons. Laws, ch. 17], §§ 330, 335.)
The Supreme Court made “ such order as justice may require,” within the contemplation of the Election Law. (§ 330.) To order a new trial at this time for technical errors not affecting substantial rights would be a futility.
The order should be affirmed.
Pound, Ch. J., Crane, O’Brien, Hubbs, Crouch and Loughran, JJ., concur; Lehman, J., not sitting..
Order affirmed.
