charges of vote fraud in

county which Senator Kennedy
carried by 318,736 votes. There
has been no move for a recount

Mr.. Nixon carried by 308,887.
COP. officials have talked
hopefully of overturning the
Illinois results, which gave Sem
ator Kennedy the States q
electoral votes by popular
ballot margin of 8,S47 out Of
almost 434 million votes cast.
That would not be enough to
overturn the election: Senator
Kennedy got 300 electoral votes
as compared with the minimum
269 needed.
Recounts have been ordered
in five counties in New Jersey,
but the State G.O.P. chair

he does not expect the results
to change materially.

verted to university centers.

fire from Mr.. Frampton and
State public school Supt.
