In the Matter of the Claim of Sam Kornblatt, Respondent, against Dubin’s Bakery, Respondent, and Great American Indemnity Company, Appellant. State Industrial Board, Respondent.
   Appeal by the Great American Indemnity Company from a decision and award made by the State Industrial Board in favor of claimant. The sole issue is whether appellant was the insurance carrier at the time of the accident. A fifteen-day binder to cover the business of the employer had been issued by appellant to be effective on October 1,1938. Although there is testimony to indicate that a different oral arrangement was sought, the binder was not canceled in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 5 of section 54 of the Workmen’s Compensation Law. It was, therefore, in effect on October 13, 1938, at the time the accident happened. (Matter of Otterbein v. Babor & Comeau Co., 272 N. Y. 149.) Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Crapser, Heffernan, Sehenck and Foster, JJ.
