Trial Underway On Naming Governor ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPD — A three - judge panel opened trial today to answer a 3>,i month hassle: Who shall be governor of Minnesota? The answer still may be two months away. The tribunal of district judges appointed last Dec. 11 by the Minnesota Supreme Court, will hear testimony and pass judgment on the validity of about 1,500 ballots challenged during a recount of the Nov. 6 election battle between incumbent Republican Gov. Elmer L. Andersen and former Democratic Lt. Gov. Karl Rolvaag. It was the closest gubernatorial election in Minnesota history, and the state canvassing board was directed by the high court a few weeks after the polls closed to declare Andersen the winner by 142 votes. Rolvaag immed ately filed for a recount, however, and now has a 133-vote lead over Andersen. Both candidates have confidently predicted final victory, but the results will not be known until at least the middle of next month. And if the loser appeals to the Supreme Court, the outcome may be delayed until late in April. In the meantime, Andersen, as interim governor, conducts the state’s business from his executive office in the statehouse, while Rolvaag keeps himself posted on legislative problems from his small office in the basement

of the same building. State legislators, uncertain who is going to occupy the governor’s mansion during the next four years, agreed to pay Rolvaag’s immediate office expenses out of state funds. Today’s trial is concerned with 24 categories of ballots where the intent of the voter was not agreed upon by the Democratic and Republican attorneys who screened nearly 95,000 similar ballot* during the recount. The panel also will begin hearing allegations March 4 concerning irregularities which both sides say occurred during the recount. The judges have yet to rule on four Democratic charges of irregularities which allegedly occurred on or before election day. The recount - irregularities trial is expected to take about two weeks.
