State Republican Leaders Rebuff Hall
COFFEYVILLE (UP)—Predicted rebuffs to Gov. Fred Hall were on the record today after the first of a series of party sessions to name the 22-member Kansas delegation to the Republican national convention.
1. Elected two delegates to San Francisco and nominated a third for state convention ratification who are politically hostile to the governor.
In the first of six GOP meetings, the third district convention Wednesday:
2. Endorsed for re-election as Kansas Republican committeeman and committeewoman former U.S. Senator Harry Darby, Karsea City, and Mrs. C. Y., Semple, Baxter Springs, both political foes of Hall.
3. Refrained from mention of Hall while lauding other prominent Republicans.
The convention, in a 40-minute afternoon session, praised the Eisenhower administration and urged a second term for Mr. Eisenhower. Earlier contests in the counties had pointed to anti-Hall control of the convention and Hall's initial setback in his drive to obtain a friendly majority in the delegation.
