Order granting respondents’ motion to vacate the subpoena and notice of examination reversed on the law and the facts, without costs, and the motion denied, without costs. The witness was not free to disregard the subpoena. The papers on appeal indicate that substantial grounds for examination exist. Lazansky, P. J., Johnston, Adel, Taylor and Close, JJ., concur.
