Judgment dismissing the petition unanimously reversed on the consent of the respondent, without costs or disbursements to either party, the petition is reinstated and the matter remanded for determination by Special Term.

Accordingly, this petition should not have been dismissed. Concur — Botein, P. J., Stevens, Tilzer and Rabin, JJ.
