The interest of the appellant is identical with that of her brother and sister, so that her nominee did not have an adverse interest, and the application should have been granted under the circumstances disclosed. (See Matter of Dumbra, ante, p. 776.) Appeal from order of April 13, 1938, denying motion to vacate and set aside said order dismissed; the appeal being academic. Lazansky, P. J., Hagarty, Carswell, Davis and Taylor, JJ., concur.
