BUCHLER SEEKS TEST
OF HfRSHFIELD POWER
Asks Referees Hearing in
Market Inquiry.

DR.. Samuel Buchler, formerly Deputy
Commissioner OF Public Markets, filed a
supplemental affidavit yesterday In the
Supreme Court asking for the appoint
ment OF a referee TO determine IL David
Hirshfield. Commissioner Of Accounts, is
properly qualified to conduct an exami-
nation Of the affairs OF the Department
OF Markets.
DR.. Buchler explained that he offered
the additional affidavit because he had
insufficient time to prepare one for sub
mission TO Justice James O'Malley on
Monday. At that time he appeared per-
sonally to oppose a motion to punish
him for contempt because he refused to
testify before the Commissioner OF Ac-
counts last week. The order to show
cause why he should not be so pun
ished was obtained BY Commissioned
Hirshheld.
Or. Buchler in the supplemental affi-
davit cited Commissioner Hlrshfield's
conduct at the hearing.
When Commissioner Hirshfield was
informed Of the latest move in the case
he said:
"Dr. Buchier claims to be a lawyer.
He ought TO know that he can't make
any such application to the Supreme
Court"
