Taft Wins Georgia Delegation Battle At Republican Meeting
Taft forces unseated Georgia's 14 Eisenhower delegates and seated 17 pro Taft delegates by a 62 to 39 vote of the Republican National Committee. The move gives Taft a net gain of at least 15 convention votes and places him ahead of Eisenhower 493 to 412 in AP tallies with 604 needed. The ruling may shape other disputed state delegations as cameras buzz outside the Hilton.
