PER CURIAM.
Order (137 N. Y. Supp. 811) affirmed, with costs. Held, that the questions as to whether the policy provides for forfeiture of plaintiff's claim for indemnity for failure to give notice of his disability in proper time (see Carpenter v. German-American Insurance Co., 52 Hun, 249, 4 N. Y. Supp. 925), or if delay in giving the notice prevents recovering for disability prior to the time the notice is given, recovery may, nevertheless, be had for 26 weeks of disability after notice was given (see Whiteside v. North American Accident Ins. Co., 200 N. Y. 320, 93 N. E. 948, 35 L. R. A. [N. S.] 696, dissenting opinion by Haight, J.), not having been argued by counsel are not determined.
