The Emerson Radio Corporation said yesterday that a New Jersey Superior Court judge would not allow three suppliers who purchased 6.6 million common shares from the company to vote the shares at its annual meeting July 7. Emerson said the judge had ruled that the $18.4 million stock sale itself was legal, a ruling the consumer-electronics company needed to meet a condition of its previously announced debt restructuring. The company sought voting status for the shares because it is engaged in a proxy battle with Fidenas Investments Ltd., which owns 20.2 percent of Emerson. Executives at Emerson and Fidenas were unavailable to comment. Emerson said the court had ruled that the suppliers could not vote the shares because the money received from the sale was being held in escrow until the debt restructuring was completed. The company said it would appeal that decision.

Another night, another nightmare. The teen-age killer gives way to the subway slasher. The mob slaying segues into a spot on kids with guns. The face of a weeping mother dissolves into a close-up of a blood-stained shirt. House fires become "raging infernos." Traffic snarls. Kids fall out of windows. Babies die in random shootings. Manhunts are commonplace.
