Charles P. Kilmurray and John J. Kijewski, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. William H. Gilfert, County Clerk of Hudson…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the county committee could lawfully fill a vacancy caused by a candidate's death even though the vacancy occurred less than thirty‑seven days before the general election, so long as the committee filed its selection at least thirty‑four days before the election. Accordingly, the judgment for the defendants was affirmed.
