Opinion
November, 1923.
Present — Cochrane, P.J., H.T. Kellogg, Van Kirk, Hinman and McCann, JJ.
We think that the activities in question, although performed in the name of "The Anti-Saloon League of New York," were in fact the activities of the corporation the correct title of which is "The New York Anti-Saloon League," and that there is no unincorporated association having the former name as distinguished from a corporation having the latter name. We also think that within the meaning of section 320 of the Election Law the New York Anti-Saloon League, though a corporation having a distinct identity, was nevertheless a "combination of three or more persons." We think likewise that its activities were those of a "political committee," as defined by the statute, and that a statement should be filed by its treasurer. The order should be modified by inserting therein "The New York Anti-Saloon League" in the place and stead of "The Anti-Saloon League of New York," and the proceedings should be amended accordingly, and the order as modified should be affirmed.
Order modified by inserting in the body thereof "The New York Anti-Saloon League" in the place and stead of "The Anti-Saloon League of New York," and the proceedings amended accordingly, and as so modified order unanimously affirmed, without costs.
