Hazleton City Mayoralty Election

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Simpson,

This is an appeal from an order made by the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County, following a recount of the 1929 vote for the office of mayor of the City of Hazleton. Originally there were twenty-one proceedings, but, by consent, they were consolidated into one. Only the order itself is assigned as error; hence all the facts found by the court below must be accepted as true: Atlas Portland Cement Co. v. American Brick & Clay Co., 280 Pa. 449; Keck v. Vandyke, 292 Pa. 532; Bangor Electric Co.’s Petition, 295 Pa. 228.

The proceeding was begun and prosecuted…
