PLAINTIFF T0 PUSH FLORANADA 01T Palm Beach Man Denies He Authorized Counsel to Withdraw Action. By the Associated Press. = PALM BEACH, Fla., November 2.— Denying he had authorized counsel to drop'a suit for $250,000 damages against E. T. Stotesbury, Philadelphia capital- ist, M. R. Stotesbury, and J. H. R.i Cromwell, as stockholders of the defunct Palm Beach contractor, said yesterday he had “just begun to fight.” Hoffman declared himself at a loss to understand a report from New York last night that the suit had been drop- ped, pointing out he had given no such instructions to his attorney, M. D. Carmichael of West Palm Beach. Hoffman’s suit in Circuit Court at West Palm Beach is based on alleged advances and credits he extended the Floranada group in the construction of the real estate development at Fort Lauderdale, which later failed. Hoffman said that Robert P. Stephen- son, New York referee in bankrupt who announced “withdrawal of suit, was without authority to act in the case, because, he said, Stephenson was named to take testimony and the case is under jurisdiction of L. Earle Curry, Miami referee in bankruptcy. Special Dispatch to The Star. MARTINSBURG, W.
