OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division is modified, without costs, by providing that the application to validate the designating petition of Calvin C. G.

Petitioner Williams was not a proper party to bring a proceeding to validate the Williams petition as to candidates other than himself.
