Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
faced demands from Repuh-
lican county chairman TODAY 70
either become an open candi-
date for the party nomine tion
for President or step aside and
allow them to indorse Vice
President Nixon.
The Governor and county
leaders met at a special party
conference called in an at
tempt to clarity the muddled
situation in New York State
Republican politics.
Gov. Rockefeller and Repub-
lican State Chairman L. Jud-
son Morhouse are trying to
keep the county chairmen neu-
trail until the party convention
in July.
Gov. Rockefeller apparently
has not abandoned all hope of
winning the nomination for
himself. despite the over
whelming support Mr.. Nixon
has from national Republican
leaders.
Mr.. Morhouse declared last
week that Gov. Rockefeller
should not be ruled out of con-
sideration for the nomination
and urged Republicans to make
q careful choice of a candidate.
But several chairmen are
anxious to join the Nixon
campaign, to put New York
Republicans on record in favor
of the man seemingly assured
of the party's presidential nomi-
nation.

his defeat in the West Virginia
primary by Senator Kennedy,

Senator Humphrey has the

delegation, South Dakota's IL
vote group, nine votes he won

In addition, he said he has
promises of scattered support
from West Virginia, North
Dakota, Washington and q few
other States he did not name.
"All of these people have told
me they want to look the situ-
alton over after the first bal
lot" Senator Humphrey said.
That does not mean that we
will be part of any stop-Ken-
