New York backs Rockefeller with 87 convention votes
New York State delegates favor Gov. Nelson Rockefeller with 87 votes at the Republican convention after a primary shows 47 at large for him and 4 uncommitted. California’s race loomed large, Raiders’ bid failed, and party leaders predicted Rockefeller would loom at the San Francisco nominating event. Democratic upset in New York City reshaped power, with Jonathan Bingham defeating Charles Buckley and Carmine De Sapio losing again to Edward Koch. Mayoral ally Wagner increased influence as he backed candidates to win several state races.
