and asked that Mr. Bergens motion. as well as one
which Mr.. Haviland had spoken Of should stand

counsel to make such statement.
II say 1t In open court. replied Mr.. Bergen. 1.-The
notice Of my motion served Mr. Haviland
on April II. and yesterday j received from him a
notice of motion for May for order directing
the receiver TO employ special counsel a particular
person being named. This Is according TO the
practice of the court. Mr.. Havland may be in for
long time and don't see why the motion should
