less the voter checks of the names
of at least 20 choices for the
Central Committee and IL for
convention delegates.
Leaders of the opposition are
Attorney William A. Roberts,
whose candidacy as a delegate was
not indorsed by the committee
and Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, for
mer commander Of the District
National Guard.
Gen. Cox, who has been named
a delegate to five Democratic con-
ventions, is opposing Attorney
Melvin D. Hildreth, veteran Dem
ocratic leader, in the race for
National Committeeman for the
District.
One-vote Margin Charged.
Gen. Cox declared that the
committee. which has indorsed
the candidacy of Mr.. Hildreth,
made the stipulation to insure
that the voters either accept the
committees slate or their ballots
will be thrown out.
In another development, Sen
ator Kerr, Democrat, of Oklahoma,
Withdrew his name from the local
preference ballot, partly because
the Central Committee already
had indorsed Senator Kefauver.
A spokesman for the Senator ex-
iplained the withdrawal also was
prompted by the fact that if Okla
IhomanS living in Washington
voted here they would be unable
to participate in their home State
primary.
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat. of
Connecticut. has asked that his
name be omitted, since he is not
making a personal campaign for
the nomination although he
would accept it if offered. Vice
President Barkley's name will not
be included for the same reason.
Mr.. Roberts said the action to
|nullify ballots that do name at
least 80 choices was carried in a
Icommittee session Thursday night
lby only a single vote. He implied
this action was maneuvered by
central Committee leaders who
have enlarged the size Of the COM
lmittee and appointed new mem
bers, as well as requirements for
members dropping out.
The internal fight, according to
Gen. Cox, bears little relation to
1.-THE presidential candidate to be
supported at Chicago.
He pointed out that this ques-
ton will be settled through pref
Ierential ballots, with the Districts
IL delegates bound to give their
six votes on the first roll call to
the candidate chosen here.
Test Here June IL.
Meanwhile. A. L. Wheeler. party
chairman, pointed out that the
first test of strength between SEN
ator Kefauver and w. Averell
Hartman will be staged here on
June IT.
Any substantial preference, Mr..
Wheeler said, will carry nationa,

In 6. O. P. Contest
BY the Assoeiated Press

0AOOA rAALS, .. LAX, June 4.
"A handful of votes may tip the
balance today in South Dakota's
presidential primary battle be-
tween Senator Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower.
AS counting of yesterdays rec
ord Republican balloting resumed.
Other Political Stories. Pages A and AS
Senator Taft clung to a slender.
narrowing lead in a contest for
IA nominating delegates and the
prestige of victory in the final
ballot box test before the Chicago
convention.
Returns from 1852 of l,947 pre-
cincts give Senator Taft 62,665:
Gen. Eisenhower, 1852. Senator
Taft's lead is 983.
With an estimated $4,000 votes
yet to be tabulated, the winners
margin seemed likely to be only
IA few hundred.
Some Talk of Recount.
There was some talk of a pos
sible recount. which could delay
final selection of the States dele
cation. Neither side has commit
ted itself on that point yet.
Many of the precincts yet unre-
ported lay in the far western area
OF the State, where Gen. Eisen-
hover was proving himself strong
in the cities and towns, but SEN
ator Taft was running ahead in
the country districts.
The IA delegates involved would
not change the relative standing
of the two major candidates ap-
preciably. Senator Taft had 420
delegates and Gen. Eisenhower
1887 on the Associated Press tab
ulation, not counting South Da.
kota's.
AS the race neared its end here.
Senator Taft was getting 5000 per
cent Of the vote, Gen. Eisenhower
1910 per cent--narrowest margin
in any presidential primary this
year.
Kefauver Gets 8 Delegates.
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee
took the States eight Democratic
delegates in stride. He defeated
an uninstructed slate which had
planned to vote on the first ballot
at Chicago for Senator Humphrey
of Minnesota, although Senator
Humphrey said he wasn't running
against his friend Senator Ke-
fauver here.
This and victories elsewhere
lifted Senator Kefauver into a
long lead in the Democratic dele
gate race. The Associated Press
tabulation gave him 244 votes
against 86l2 credited to his near
lest rival, Senator Russell Of
Georgia.

Gen. Eisenhower carried nearly
every city and large town in the
State. Senator Taft rolled UP his
margin in the farm areas, al
though he lost only by a narrow
margin in Sioux Falls. the States

The cities sent Gen. Eisenhower

turns, but Senator Taft soon over.
