In Hong Kong communist mobs rioted with bombs and axes while London police clashed with Chinese diplomatic personnel. One Hong Kong demonstrator was killed and two wounded as authorities opened fire.

Survey claims LBJ vulnerable to defeat in 1968
The Christian Science Monitor reported a Wednesday survey showing President Johnson is vulnerable in several states over issues from the Vietnam War to crime and cost of living. It listed 28 states as "definitely vulnerable" and 16 as "possibly" or "moderately" vulnerable, with little or no vulnerability in a few others. The piece notes such findings do not forecast a GOP victory.

Black voters mobilize as allyship grows across counties
Evers estimated about 160000 of 185000 registered Negroes voted and pledged renewed efforts whether or not new elections are ordered in three counties. He warned whites will no longer have it their way and Negro candidates will run in city elections scheduled next year. Williams is the sole Democratic candidate facing opposition in November with Republicans and Negro independents challenging many local contests. Rubel Phillips remains the Republican gubernatorial hopeful after a 38 percent showing in 1963.
