Pyle, as Its Treasurer, and William G. Smart, as Its Assistant Treasurer, Respondents. Sutphin Park Realty Corporation and William G. Smart, as Its Assistant Treasurer, Appellants; John B.

Order of peremptory mandamus unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Hagarty, Davis, Adel and Taylor, JJ.
