javascript - hide elements with name using jquery

I am using backbone and

I have following code in template

    >
    >

and in render function i have following code

  render: function() {
        $(this.el).html(this.template(this.model));
        var selectedElem='[name='+self.model.leave_request_id+']';
            console.log(selectedElem);
            console.log($(selectedElem));
            //$("a[name='"self.model.leave_request_id+"']" )
            $(selectedElem).hide();


        return this.el;

    }

console.log(selectedElem) prints [name=3257]

and console.log($(selectedElem)) prints

[a#approveLeave.al_ynbtn.apv_app, a#rejectLeave.al_ynbtn.can_app, prevObject: m.fn.init[1], context: document, selector: "[name=3257]", jquery: "1.11.1", constructor: function…]
0: a#approveLeave.al_ynbtn.apv_app
1: a#rejectLeave.al_ynbtn.can_app

context: document
length: 2
prevObject: m.fn.init[1]
selector: "[name=3257]"
proto: Object[0]

i want to hide elements with name=3257? how to do that?
