Lois J. Pharo, as Executrix of Harry G. Pharo, Deceased, Appellant, v. Piedmont Aviation, Inc., et al., Respondents, et al., Defendant. Rita G. Klein, as Administratrix of the Estate of Norman J. Klein, Deceased, Appellant, v. Piedmont Aviation, Inc. et al., Respondents, et al., Defendant.
    Argued October 4, 1971;
    decided October 20, 1971.
    
      
      Edward M. O’Brien, Stuart M. Speiser and Charles F. Krause for Lois J. Pharo, as executrix, appellant.
    
      Stanley J. Levy and Richard Irwirn Portnoy for Bita G. Klein, as administratrix, appellant.
    
      Edward F. Hayes, III and Paul G. Pennoyer, Jr. for Piedmont Aviation, Inc., respondent.
    
      John MacCrate, III and John J. Martin for Fairchild Hiller Corporation, respondent.
   In each action: Order affirmed, without costs. The Appellate Division did not abuse its discretion in deciding to refuse jurisdiction. The circumstance that, in this action brought by a nonresident plaintiff, one of the defendants is a domestic corporation does not require that this State entertain the suit insofar as other foreign corporations and other nonresidents are concerned.

Concur: Chief Judge Fuld and Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Breitel, Jasen and Gibson.
