Seymour Schwartz, appellant in person and for Amos S. Basel, appellant.

Harold L. Fisher and Sidney A. Mauriber for respondents.

Order affirmed, without costs, in the following memorandum: Applying the rule in Matter of Sullivan v. Power (24 A.D.2d 709, affd. 16 N.Y.2d 854), and giving appellants credit for the signatures obtained by the subscribing witness Goldberg, there is still an insufficiency of valid signatures to sustain the petition.
