    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered July 10, 1913, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a decision of the court at a Trial Term without a jury in an action brought upon a judgment recovered by the plaintiff as assignee in insolvency of James McKeon, on March 6, 1899, in the state of Massachusetts, against the defendant Simon Rothschild as surviving partner of the firm of S.

      B. F. Einstein for appellant.
    
      Omri F. Hibbard for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
