Honest Election Claimed

State officials say they have no knowledge
of violence, harassment or intimidation. "As far
as we know, it was an honest election," said Bill
Allain, a legal assistant to the state attorney
general. "We have no report of these charges
from either law officers of the Federal people.
We know only what we hear in the
newspapers," he added.

Neither of the Hayes brothers could be
reached for comment.
