We cannet therefore sustain the con tention of the petitioner that the court will consider the votes and declare the ~ election. Nor can we sustain the con tention that, i~n the absence of a dec-t laration of the executive committee, i the count of the managers should be e sustained as a declaratin of the re sults. Under the statutes and rules t the managers were not authorized to declare the result. That was for the executive committee, and it has not b (done so according to law.
