Taft Delegate Totals Raise Doubtful Outlook for 491
Taft bureau counts 264 delegates elected with 162 pledged or untested for Taft and 34 more with reasonable Taft chances, totaling 196. Only four of 42 delegates chosen last week to the Chicago convention were Taft instructed, while Cannon and uninstructed held. With 980 total delegates and 49 needed, prospects for reaching 491 appear doubtful, hinging on Southern conventions.
