in an informal ruling today, said he be-
ieved 9 of the IL North Dakota dele
gates to the Republican National Con-
vention elected in the March Is primary

United States Senator Lynn j. Frazier,
Republican, of North Dakota, in a state

asserted that this States Republican
delegates must support j. I. France of
Maryland, who won the presidential
preference vote in the primary Senator
Frazier said the result of a preference
vote is mandatory upon all the dele
gates.
Attorney General Morris, commenting
today on the Frazier statement, said he
saw nothing in the preference law that
would in any way bind the Hoover dele
gates to France.
Morris said that, as matter of prece-
dent, delegates supported candidates to
whom they originally were pledged, and
that their actions hitherto had gone
unchallenged. He declared he consid-
cred the vote for the Hoover delegates
as an expression of preference for Hoo
yer. No formal request for ruling has
been made, however.
