1. Within thirty days after the last date fixed in said notice to creditors to present and make proof of claims, objections to any claim duly presented may be made by any party interested, by filing with the director such objections in writing, signed by the objector and duly verified.

2. Unless the director rejects any claim to which objections have been duly filed with him, he shall, within thirty days after the time to file such objections has expired, apply to the circuit court upon notice to the objector for an order directing the director as to the disposition of said claim.

3. The court may thereupon dispose of said objections or may order a reference for that purpose.
