Papers Thrown Out Some of the tension In the Democratic situation was lessened Tuesday afternoon, when the Board of Canvassers at a special meeting declared invalid the nomination papers which had been filed for an opposition slate of delegates from Lne Third ward to the ciiy caucus.

The action came after William Williams, who said he represented Cornelius Moore, chairman, aoid Mrs. Julia Ryan, 'vice chairman, of the Third Ward delegation of the Democratic city committee, had protested the status of two of the five delegates named oa the papers, and 36 of the 01 signatures affixed to the papers. The charges made by Mr. Williams were that Thomas C. Albro, one of the delegates, was not a legal voter in the Third ward, that the nomination papers filed gave the date of the caucus as August 21 and'nol July 24, the date the clly committee has selected.

He chaj- lenged six signatures as defective, 10 as not on the voting lists, eighl because they had signed other nomination papers in the last election, and 12 for various other reasons, chiefly incorrect addresses. City Solicitor Jeremiah A Sullivan declined to rule on these ob- but when said there Martin Randolph Sutler, graduated last, month from Howard University, receiving the degree of bachelor of science, standing fifth in a class of 274.
