Pittsburg Falls Short on Hotels for Republican Convention
City committee members warn Pittsburg cannot host a 895 delegate plus alternates convention with current hotel capacity. Exposition hall could hold 10 000 to 15 000 people but hotel rooms for 2 250 with 1 600 spare beds and 30 000 outside observers would strain services.
