I DIXIE ELECTRIC AND PLUMBING CO. [ECTION MUDDLE BROUGHT TO CLOSE harleston Public to Be Preferred to Personal Ambition .and Factional Strife. 'The supreme court yesterday dis nissed the petition brought to the !ourt yesterday morning by counsel or Mayor Tristam T. Hyde of Char eston for a writ of certiorari to com ?el the city Democratic executive com nittee to submit the records and oth 'r data in connection with the recent tetion and the declaring of John P. ";race the nominee for mayor. The vrite also asked that the committee >e compeled to canvas the contested mallots, the throwing out of which ,viped out the majority of Mayor [1yde over Mr. Grace. The court emphasizes that the dis nissal calls for the end of the pro onged litigation and the composure >f the public mind. "There is a third mart.y to the controversy. That , arty s the public of the city of Charles :on. Further litigation is not only jrought to an end by the bar of the lay of the (general) election, but the :'reat public, not concerned in the con Lentions of the parties thereto, is to 'e preferred to personal ambition and factional strife. It calls for the end ;f litigation and the composure of the public mind." The court divided on the issue. The maojrity opinion was written by As soci:ate .Justice Gage and was concur red in by Chief .Justice Gnary and Asso 'inite .1ustice Watts. The dissenting )pinion was filed by Associate Justice Ilydrick and was concurred in by As sociate Justice lraser. I,atst week the court in a majority apinion dou'lared the election null and void, Associate .Iustice IlIydrick re minded that the coutrt in the first ease teelared neither lr. IHyde or Mir. Grace the nominee, because the noi nation was illegal and it was ordered set aside. Cont inuing the petit ion out lined the litigation before the court in the election case, in which an opin iott was handed down that the court' could not assume that W. Turner Lo gan, chairman, and the members of the committee would not declare the results of the primary according to law. "It. appears now from the verified petition of Mr. IHyde .tat the commit tee did not do what was assumed itt would do, but taint, it met, on Novem-' her 25, and, by its action and method of prIedure. practically set at naught and nullified the decision of this court, for its procedure was clearly contrary to that which we had pointed out to be the proper procedure in clear and unmistakable terms. I c-m not con sent to an order which, i.. effect, al lows a party to a cause to set at n:au,.hit and nullify a decision of this court in that case." Contending that the committee has plenty of time to make an investiga t ion of the rejected ballots of which 77 wer challenged votes and 14 muti Iated bal lots, before the <iate oif the genteral electin, the dissenttitng opinhion hohtlls thiiat Mr. Hyd'ue has the tight toi htave this dlone( and that the court in assum itin g jur isd ict ion oIf the case de e ided that lie had acquitred tright s utn der1 thte primat'y electioni statute atnd the rights shtontld be pt'otected and e'nforced by tile cour'ts. lO)SS Fit~OM lIlRE IN BIG FIGURES Baltimore, Md., NOV. 28.-Revised es tinmates of the loss cautsed by thte fire whtich early today wrecked thriee of the group of buildinigs in the centet'r of the city, formerly occupIed lby Johns HIopk ins uttiversity andti daimaged abiot a sc'or'e of residences and stot'es in the vic in ity placed the a mount at apptroximattely $700,000.
