primary examination of said applicant and of such other evidence

matter to any subsequent day of the particular sitting then being
held; but such adjournment shall not in any event be to a time

concerning any applicant for registration as a qualified voter
touching any cause of disqualification not expressly enumerated
in the constitution of this State.
