Judge Orrin y. Carter's campaign Tor
the governorship nomination has pro-
yrcssed to the point that both he ana
his political managers are calculating
on having more than majority OF the
delegates from Cook County. As
minimum Of 400 Of the 800 delegates
has always been claimed by Judge FL
bridge Hanccy's licutenants. the an
nounccment that the Carter supporters
are confidently figuring upon the eiec'
ton Of 300 or more ant!.iianecy de'e'
gates has stirred small cyclone In
Republican circles. Neither Judge
Carter nor his campaign committee
make any claims, and will not until the
al,lermanic election Is past ana the
yoyernorship campaign II actually nh-
der way. One Of the politicians active
in the Carter campaign sized up the
situation In the different wards as FOL
