Cosmos Textile Corporation, Respondent, v. J. H. Erstein & Bro., Inc., Appellant.
    First Department,
    February 1, 1935.
    
      George Garfunkel, for the appellant.
    
      Myron Wisoff, for the respondent.
   Per Curiam.

Facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action for an accounting are pleaded. We have determined, therefore, that the court at Special Term properly denied the motion to dismiss.

The prayer for relief would seem to indicate that the plaintiff seeks to reform the written agreement entered into between the parties. While plaintiff has stated in its brief that the remedy is only incidental, it must be borne in mind that, in affirming, the court at this time is not holding that the allegations upon which it relies for a reformation are properly pleaded, or that such relief is necessary to enable the trial court to construe the agreement in the manner desired by the plaintiff.

The order appealed from should be affirmed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements to the respondent, with leave to the defendant to answer within twenty days from service of order upon payment of said costs.

Present — Martin, P. J., Merrell, O’Malley, Glennon and Untermyer, JJ.

Order affirmed, with twenty dollars costs and disbursements, with leave to the defendant to answer within twenty days from service of order upon payment of said costs.
