COP Head Sees Dewey
Carrying Is States

NEW YORK, July 31.-CP,-Her-
bert Brownell, Jr., Republican Ma
tional. chairman, predicted TO-DAY
that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Re-
publican Presidential nominee,
would carry at least Is states with
81 electoral votes to win the No
vember election.
Brownell made the prediction at
press conference in analyzing
public opinion polls taken in six
states - Illinois, Indiana. Iowa,
Michigan, New York and Ohio =
since Dewey's nomination.
Brownell said those states, with
142 electoral votes, showed an av-
erage gain by the Republicans OF
more than SIS per cent over 1910.
"This trend toward the Dewey
Bricker ticket will, 7 am certain,
continue and strengthen as other
states are polled,' Brownel said.
"a study of the 1910 figures shows
that nationwide shift of 4 per
cent to the Republican column will
bring victory in Is states, with 81
electoral votes.
