Harold M. Hershman, Edward Honig and Irving S. K. Chin, pro se, for Irving S. K. Chin, appellant.

Concur: Chief Judge FULD and Judges BURKE, JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES and WACHTLER. Taking no part: Judge BREITEL.

Order affirmed, without costs, in the following memorandum: In our view, since the irregularities were, to quote from Matter of Ippolito v. Power (22 N Y 2d 594, 597-598), "sufficiently large in number to establish the probability that the result would be changed by * * * invalidation" of the votes, the order *651 directing a new primary election should be affirmed (see, also, Matter of Mack v. Cocuzzo, 22 N Y 2d 901; Matter of Nodar v. Power, 18 N Y 2d 697).
