State Board Will Convene Today; To Show Intentions Superior Court Judge J. Frank Huskins Saturday cleared the way for the N. C. Elections Board to declare a winner in the contested election to the 84th District seat in the N. C. Senate. Judge Huskins dissolved a re straining order that had prevented the board from declaring anyone but Madison County political boss Zeno Ponder as the winner in the senate race. The judge ordered the board to declare a nominee for the Senate seat at the earliest possible date. The 24th Judicial District judge based his ruling on a 1938 disputed congressional race, and, in follow ing the procedure of the old rul ing, added two stipulations to his order. First that the elections board convene as soon as possible in Raleigh to declare if Ponder or Clyde Norton of Old Fort were entitled to the nomination for the disputed seat. Second, that the state board shall not certify a candidate until case hag been hcard by a Judge presiding and a jury if demand ed by either party for the next regular or special session of the Madison County Superior Court. Huskins said that he added the stipulations to save time and to avoid excessive appeals, so that the Senate seat would not be un filled because of lengthy litigation He said bis order was in una with procedure following in the 1988 case of Burgln vs. C.

C. Supreme Court The 2.000 pages of testimony and evidence already presented in the Madison County vote prooe would forrrv the basis for the board's ruling, he noted. The hear ings of alleged vote fraud ended on July 31. Under the restraining order dis solved Saturday, tho board had been prevented from meeting to certify any candidate other than Ponder. The hearing in Burnsville at which Ponder and his attorneys were present but Norton and his. counsel were absent, lasted near ly six and a half hours. Merrill E.
