II the hopes Of Aaron J. Levy, counsel for
the club, are realized. Mr. Levy is going
70 apply in the Supreme Court tomorrow

There are two ways Of going about this
thing said Mr.. Levy yesterday afternoon.
The first is to wait until the license is
revoked, and then institute certiorari pro-
ceedings, and the other is TO get an injunc-
ton. I'm going TO get an Injunction.
This distinguished and oblgiing commits
sioner who calls himself Mr. Frank S.
O'Neil and thinks he is d lawyer, has been
threatening 10 revoke our license not only
through the newspapers, but in Albany and
in the meetings Of his board. The only
ground for revocation which he will men
ton is his claim that our lease is i'm
proper II he ever went to law school,

know that that lease Is absolutely binding.
I don't know how the lease happened to be
signed. but I know what's In the lease. and
anybody who has been to law school TWEEN
" minutes would know that a lease so
signed and sealed was binding until It was
proven invalid.
"AH Mr. O'Nen has done is 10 bring for

not buy 1.-THE doesn't know. win you tell
me how that affects the validity OF our
lease?"
Commissioner Dixon, Mr.. Levy pointed
out was against revokins the lease unless

Levy, did not believe that the Governor
