New York Republicans Fight To Stop Luce-Keating Race
New York Republican leaders sought to bar Clare Boothe Luce from running as a Conservative party candidate against Sen. Kenneth B. Keating and possibly Democrat Robert F. Kennedy. Two GOP members warned National Chairman Dean Burch they would withdraw support for Goldwater’s ticket if Conservative backing continues for Luce and 58 lesser offices. In Buffalo Rep. William E. Miller said neither Goldwater nor he controls the Conservative party. Kennedy’s candidacy gained momentum at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City as Kennedy resigned as a Massachusetts delegate, signaling a likely entry into New York race with an expected high announcement Tuesday at Gracie Mansion. Mayor Robert F. Wagner and UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson backed Kennedy, with Wagner indicating Kennedy would be at his side.
