Opinion

In the Matter of the Accounting of United States Trust Company of New York et al., as Trustees of Trusts Established by Ernest J. Wile, Respondents. George E. Wile, Appellant; Edwin Kessler et al., Respondents. [MAJORITY] We think the fees were excessive. Allowance to the attorney for trustees is reduced to $4,000 and to the special guardians to $2,500. As so modified the order is affirmed, with costs to the appellant and the successful respondent payable out of the estate. Settle order on notice. Present — Peek, P. J., Glennon, Cohn, Callahan and Breitel, JJ. [See 282 App. Div. 761.]
