Circuit Judge Names One After Comptroller Has Acted JURISDICTION ISSUE Law Regulating Receivers Gives Comptroller Authority (By Associated Press) Tallahassee, April 10.-A conflict of authority has arisen in Palm Beach county where the State Bank of Felismere was taken over by the state comptroller following an investigation nito its affairs after the death of the cashier, and whose accounts were found several thousand dollars short. Under the law the comptroller is specially authorized to name receivers for banks under his jurisdiction. In due form a receiver was named by the comptroller, but it was found later that Judge Davis, of the circuit court, had also named a receiver, who went to Fellsmere and demanded from the examiner and recéiver named by the comptroller, the keys of the bank. The examiner wired to Tallahassee for instructions, and was told to hold to what he had. He later advised the comptroller's office that a forcible entrance to the bank was either being attempted or g had already actually been made by the receiver named by the court. Assistant Attorney General Gaines t then left here for West Palm Beach, r W arriving there this morning to preb sent a request that the appointment of a receiver by the court be vacated. f The alternative is an appeal to the supreme court. f
