New York Leaders Back Clark in Presidential Ballots
Harry Pommery of New York, a former Washington resident, believes Democratic leaders in New York will cast only a couple of complimentary votes for Gay Dix while Speaker Clark is seen as the leading vote getter for the nomination. He expects Clark to inherit New York’s support on later ballots and to gain Pennsylvania and much of New England’s delegates, with Murphy’s decision looming large. Pommery says Harmon’s support has dwindled, unlikely to yield a single Empire State delegate.
