DelOey Ponders Extension OfM '. City Voting Hours

Many political observers believe than an extension of voting hours would work to the disadvantage of the Republican presidential candi- date. The belief Is based on the idea that the heavier the vote in New York City, the greater margin Dewey will have to gain upstate ip order to win the states 47 electoral votes.
