 of Other Property Discussed

vate sale subject to the approval of Referee Ieomans.
 Wants Private Sale
 Trustee Howard made a plea for private sale of the Trumbull street property. declaring a public auction would be suicidal" and the estate re- ceive far less than the value of the property. The property Is so intri- cately mortgaged that the estate can not be liquidated until all the re- mainder of the Gilpatric estate pro perty in Connecticut Is settled, 1t is understood. Referee Yeomans decid- ed that he was not bound to sell the property at public auction.
 The property at 5S2 Zion street was discussed as to what should be done about it's sale. Reasonable offers have been made for the property and a private sale will probably occur in the near future.
 Trustee May Sue
 The Putnam Buick Company will be sued because of the sale of an auto mobile purchased by the former state treasurer two days before he shot himself.
 The ear was paid for in cash. but was sold by the company which has held out from the estate, an amount near $500, on the ground that it was owed for repair bills incurred by Gil- patric. The right of the company to sell the automobile and to withhold the sum for which it was sold there after was challenged and an effort will be made to adjust the matter.
