   In a proceeding under article 78 of the Civil Practice Act, final order annulling the determination of the State Liquor Authority, which determination is a refusal of a retail wine and liquor license to respondents, and directing issuance of a license, reversed on the law and the facts, without costs, and the determination of the State Liquor Authority confirmed, without costs. The court may not substitute its judgment for that of the authority, to whom the power to pass on the matter is given by statute. Carswell, Johnston and Nolan, JJ., concur; Hagarty, Acting P. J., and Adel, J., dissent and vote to affirm.
