— Order affirmed, without costs. In our opinion, under the circumstances disclosed by this record, strict observance of the letter of section 248 of the Election Law would interfere unnecessarily with the intelligent and ready expression of his choice by an independent voter. Leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals granted. Nolan, P. J., Wenzel, MaeCrate, Schmidt and Beldock, JJ., concur. [204 Mise. 858.]
