Delegates Urged as Ticket Shortage Hits Chicago Convention
At the Chicago convention 2477 delegates and 1350 alternates faced admission limits as unused tickets were sought. Adlai Stevenson’s headquarters urged states to send extra tickets while Sen. Richard Neuberger failed to secure one for his wife. Seating changes moved alternates to the mezzanine, leaving fewer than 200 seats for the public after official allocations.
