Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 81
UP-Governor Dickinson and Ma
tional Committeeman Frank D. Nc
Kay carried their increasingly
spirited fight for party leadership
to the convention floor today as
Michigan Republicans opened Their
fall nominating session.
The convention was split wide
open on two fronts. A Showdown
fight on McKay's traditional state
leadership was indicated as Dick
inson battled against denomination
of his attorney general, Thomas
Read, who opposed him for gov
ernor in the recent primary
There was also a no-holds-barred
wrangle over seating OF Wayne
County delegates. Party leaders
worked feverishly through the
night on these two issues and early
this morning a summary OF de-
velopments included:
Governor Dickinson's endorse
ment of Herbert J. Rushton. Es-
canada, state sales tax director. as
candidate for attorney general.
McKay's continued support OF
Read and prediction of victory on
the convention floor.
The state central committees de-
vision to seat all Wayne County
delegates, total of 1872, giving
them one-half vote each.
A threat by the Wayne faction
headed by Harry S. Toy to carry
the battle to the credentials COM
mittee and, IL necessary, directly
to the convention.
The most delicate piece OF patch
work needed was in the attorney
general race. After Dickinson
voiced opposition to Read Thurs.
day, there was a hot exchange OF
charges and ccunter-charges by
Mckay, Read and Grove NJ. Rouse,
the governors political aide. Dick
inson came to the convention un.
prepared TO name his choice for
the office-he Just didn't want
Read. For eight hours administra'
ton forces conferred with various
hopes. and shortly after mid.
night the governor announced his
decision.

the entire situation II seems to me
that the ticket would be strength
