It is difficult to see how this proceeding could be called such an emergency as to require chambers time in the summer, after plaintiff stood by until the structure was erected. To be sure the locus is at a summer resort but there are involved issues which, if the office of a temporary injunction is in mind, does not warrant summary action.

He can be most inaccessible but the public finds a specialty every time.
   Motion denied.
