The court re- served for later decision the question, of the personnel of the receivership. Mary C. Tracy, through Attorneys Thomas H. Matters, jr. T. T. Ans- berry and George T. O'Farrell, today asked permission of the court to in- tervene in the Levy suit, which had been filed by Attorney Robert H. Me- Neill.
