...downtown Manhattan, the cool, deep haunt of many a millionaire, a surprising disturbance took place even before Mr. Morgenthau went into action. Cards printed in haste but with greatest dignity suddenly announced the disruption of the venerable law firm of Hughes, Schurman & Dwight. This is the firm from which the Chief Justice of the U.
