  twenty-five  percentum  in  principal amount of such notes or bonds then
  outstanding, shall, in his or its own name:
    (a) by suit,  action  or  proceeding  in  accordance  with  the  civil
  practice  law  and  rules,  enforce  all  rights  of  the noteholders or

  or in violation of the rights of the holders of such notes or bonds;
    (e)  declare  all  such  notes  or  bonds  due and payable, and if all
