PAWLING, N. Y, June 28.-Gov.
Dewey and his running mate, Gov
Earl Warren Of California, today
were arranging an early conference
to kill a widespread belief among
Republicans that the Presidential
election is a COP walkaway.
The Republican presidential and
vice presidential nominees are ex-
pected to meet tomorrow at Dewey's
farm here. Gov. Warren, accom-
panied by his family, was visiting
in New York City today.
The New York Governor will can
vass extensively" with Gov. Warren
"the problems of the campaign" a
Dewey aide said.
Will Chart Campaign.
High on the list OF problems is
how to choke OF the air Of over
confidence that the Dewey forces
feel too many members of the party
have been inhaling giddily.
At their conference, 1t Is under
stood. Gov. Dewey and Gov. War
rem will chart a vigorous campaign
that will take them across the
country several times.
The New York Governors policy
always has been not to count the
game won until the Anal inning is
played. Warren feels the same way
In his 1946 campaign for re-elec-
ton as Governor the New Yorker
knew weeks before the balloting
through privately conducted polls,
that he would beat the Democratic
nominee, James M. Mead, then a
Senator. His workers, too, sensed
an easy victory, and were inclined
to ease off.
Other Jobs at Stake.
But Gov. Dewey directed his top
campaign aides to combat the ten
dency. They did-and the Governor
won by record majority.
1t was pointed out here that the
Republicans face the job not only
OF winning the presidency and vice
presidency, but of defeating the
opposition in contests for Senate
and House seats and for myriad
State and local Offices.
Gov. Dewey continued to take it
easy today at his farm on Quaker
Hill Just outside this village. But
he had some work to do, including
consideration of appointments to
State Offices which he must make
soon.
The Governor and his family at
tended services yesterday in Christ
Church on Quaker Hill. The church
Is nterdenominationa in character.
The Deweys were IS minutes late
but DR.. Ralph C. Lankler, a Pres
byterian minister of Cortland, N
Y. delayed the services until they
arrived.
Gov. Dewey mapped in the after
noon and his wife nursed a cold.
Warren Relaxes in New York.
Meanwhile in New York, Gov.
Warren relaxed as his family took
In the sights Of the big city.
He arrived by train from Phila-
delphia yesterday, with Mrs. War
rem and their three daughters
Virginia, 10; Dorothy, IT, and Nina
Elizabeth, IA.
Outside of talking with Gov.
Dewey, the vice presidential nomi-
nee said, he had mo other reason
to be here, except that New York
Is always magnet for those of us
who live in the West"
Gov. Warren said he expects to
return to Sacramento in about
week, although his daughters-with
Broadway shows on their minds
are anxious to prolong the New
York visit.
The Governor said one thing he
wanted was a good sleep. He retired
early Saturday night in Philadelphia
for his first real nights sleep since
the Republican Convention started
last Monday.
After the convention closed Gov.
Warren was kept busy in Phila-
delphia for two days setting in mo-
tion the preliminary business of his
campaign.
Before leaving for New York the
Warren family made a point of
visiting Independence Hall.
Every American citizen should see
the place where the Declaration of
Independence, the Bill of Rights and
the Constitution were signed" Gov.
Warren said
