In the Matter of the Application for Appointment of an Ancillary Committee of the Property of Margaret Leichtman, an Alleged Incompetent Person. Margaret Claas, Appellant; Christina Hugot, Administratrix, etc., of Henry Winsweiler, Deceased, Respondent.
   Order reversed on the law and the facts, without costs, and application granted.

Young, Kapper and Scudder, JJ., concur; Lazansky, P. J., and Hagarty, J., dissent upon the ground that a resident may not be appointed as committee of an alleged non-resident incompetent without inquisition. Settle order on notice.
