Gen. Eisenhower said he had been

Georgia delegates favoring Gen.
Eisenhower, according to a vote
taken by the delegation today.
After a caucus at the California
headquarters here the delegates
voted 81 to 8 in favor of adopting
the minority report of the Creden-
tials Committee on the Georgia
dispute. Two delegates passed
their vote and three were absent
from the caucus.

been strongly opposed to the
Eisenhower forces.

2. Agreed to accept the majority
vote of the Credentials Committee
seating three Taft delegates from
Puerto Rico.
8. Decided to put off decision
on contest of delegates from Texas
and Louisiana until the Creden-
tials Committee, meeting on the
matter, submits its report.
At the opening of the meeting,
a discussion of the Texas and
Louisiana contests indicated strong
support in the delegation for the
Eisenhower cause.
In his report to the members
Gordon x. Richmond, the Cali
fornia member of the Credentials
Committee recommended strongly
that the Republican Party must
preserve an "open-door policy
toward admitting former Demo-
Gratis, particularly in the Southern
States.
