Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Fifth District.
Action by the Brunswick Site Company against the Berlin Neuroder Art Printing Company. From a judgment for $206.91, for plaintiff, defendant appeals. Affirmed.
Argued before GUY, LEHMAN, and WHITAKER, JJ.
Chas. Kaufmann, of New York City (Louis F. Levy and Joseph J. Corn, both of New York City, of counsel), for appellant.
Julius Offenbach, of New York City, for respondent.

Opinion:
GUY, J.
The written notice delivered in March, 1914, as provided by the then existing lease, operated automatically as making a new written lease for two years to begin July 31, 1914. All subsequent negotiations were merely an attempt to agree upon a modification of said lease.
The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.
WHITAKER, J-, concurs.
