Porter Leads in Indiana Convention Amidst Disorder
The Indiana Republican convention opened cool and cloudy with Porter favored by delegates. Robertson fought to stay in the race while Porter supporters urged rapid nominating action. After chaotic seating and lengthy speeches, Hovey emerged as a contender and the roll was called. Despite calls for unity, Porter declined the nomination, and Hovey ultimately led with a large majority on the first ballot. Chase and others maneuvered for second place before adjournment.
