Some 200 members of the civil rights organization voted to replace Innis, who was not present, saying Yates and James Farmer, who founded CORE in 1942, had accused Innis in a suit filed In New York of misspending some $500,000 of the organization's money. The suit also said he had refused to hold new elections since taking office in 1968. Innis denied the allegations, but last year the state of New York obtained a restraining order prohibiting CORE from soliciting or spend- ngnts organizations," he said.
