sidered doubtful for several hours.

Angeles showed that Wallace had run
ahead of Johnson in Los Angeles and
that while he had run behind his ticket
generally throughout the state. he
would probably have a margin of 1000

The vote for governor, while fitting
very closely the most conservative re-
publican estimates, upset all calcula-

upsets from the experts forecasts were /
in San Francisco and Los Angeles. |
