N.Y. Debtor & Creditor Law § 126: Notice to creditors; when service cannot be made

§ 126. Notice to creditors; when service cannot be made. The papers,

specified in the last section, may be served, either upon the creditor

or his representative, or upon the attorney whose name is subscribed to

the execution; and, in either case, in the manner prescribed in the

civil practice law and rules for the service of a paper upon an

attorney, in an action in the supreme court. Where it is made to appear

by affidavit, to the satisfaction of the court, that service cannot,

with due diligence, be so made within the state, upon either, the court

may make an order, prescribing the mode of service, or directing the

publication of a notice in lieu of service, in such manner and for such

a length of time, as it thinks proper; and thereupon, it may direct an

adjournment of the hearing to such a time as it thinks proper.
