Hughes Delegation Dominates New York Conventions
In Greater New York, eighteen congressional district conventions chose a practically solid Hughes delegation for the presidential nomination. Thirteen instructed delegates to vote for Hughes until nominated or withdrawn, two others to work and vote for Hughes, while Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens districts failed to instruct. Uninstructed delegations are said to back Hughes, except Queens where a resolution against the governor’s candidacy passed. Opposition to Hughes centers on race track gambling at Aqueduct. Taft was not favored in any convention, and Hughes supporters expect strong support at the upcoming state meeting.
