Description

The sole article (New-York Tribune, 1904-11-24) mentions 'the receiver of the Murray Hill Bank' implying the bank was placed in receivership (i.e., closed). The brief mention does not describe a run or a suspension date or cause; no reopening is reported. Given the assignment of a receiver, the most consistent episode type is suspension_closure (suspension followed by permanent closure/receivership). Significant details (dates of suspension/receivership, causes) are not provided in this article.
