Tha netitlon sets forth that tna many Inquiries Into Borough President Con nolly's office were started without any actual basis and were for the purpose of making political capital for the faction beaded by tha former Queen County boss, Joseph Caaaldy. It is held that Caaaidy procured the nomination of the District Attorney, and that the con duct complained of on the part of the District Attorney was to fulfill election pledges. The petition, which aeta rortn in sev enteen paragraphs Mr. Smith' alleged disqualifications to hold office, was re- Dared by Edward A.
