Nixon the chief executive. Always Was Possibility Morton said that there al ways was a possibility that Nixon could be elected presi dent when the electoral votes are counted next Monday if Illinois' 27 votes were shifted from Kennedy and some un pledged southern electors backed the. Republican, But, Morton said, "As a real ist, I don't think there is a chance. He said he had been told by Republican lawyers that if a recount were held in Chi cago's Cook county, Illinois would go for Nixon. Some Re publicans charge that vote frauds enabled "Kennedy to roll up a huge majority in Cook county which helped to carry the state by less than 9,000 votes. Fraud Evidence Denied But, Democratic Sen. Paul H. Douglas denied that any evidence of fraud had been produced in his home state of Illinois. "The whole matter has been blown up out of all pro portion to its real importance," Douglas said, He said a re count in Illinois would show Kennedy picking up enough votes in the traditionally Re publican downslate area to offset any Nixon gains in Chi cago. Mortons claim that IS months to two years will pass before the Illinois and Texas fights are resolved is based on Republican plans to take to court their charges of elec tion irregularities In the states.
