Rockefeller now in limelight with Romney out of race
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—With Michigan Gov. George Romney out of the Republican presidential contest, attention centered on New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.
Rockefeller reaffirmed he was "not a candidate" Wednesday shortly after Romney withdrew from the race.
But he left the door open to persuasion by Republicans attending a National Governors Conference here.
Romney did not indicate, in bowing out, whom he would support, but he said one of his reasons for quitting was to give Republican governors "the opportunity for meaningful consideration of candidates" and time to act on their conclusions.
Rockefeller has substantial support among the GOP governors, who as a group tend more toward the moderate and liberal end of the scale than congressional Republican leaders.
Romney added that "time is growing short" in the New Hampshire primary, where former Vice President Richard M. Nixon was left as the lone active Republican candidate. The voting is March 12.
A New Hampshire write-incampaign is being conducted in Rockefeller's behalf, without his authorization, and recent polls indicated he would have polled 30 per cent of the vote with Romney in the race.
Politicians speculated th at Rockefeller and Nixon would now divide the vote that would have gone to Romney, with Rockefeller probably getting the larger share.
"We who admire Gov. Rockefeller look forward to his starting an active campaign in the near future," said Sen. Hugh Scott, RPa.
Sen. Hiram L. Fong, R-Hawaii, said: "I expect Rockefeller to announce his candidacy and I expect him to do so shortly if he is to make any headway."

Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y., said he felt "Rockefeller is the key to the next major development in the situation."
Rockefeller earlier petitioned to have his name removed from the Wisconsin ballot, but state officials said it could be put back if he withdraws the affidavit he filed disclaiming any intention to run

MADISON, Wis.—(UPI)—As Gov. George Romney had his name taken off the April Wisconsin presidential primary ballot, Atty. Gen. Bronson La Follette ruled that Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York has until 5 p.m. next Tuesday to get on the Wisconsin ballot, if he should reverse himself and decide to run.
He acknowledged last weekend that he would accept a draft for the nomination if one arose at the GOP National Convention starting Aug. 5 in Miami Beach.
They predicted the New York governor could win considerably more votes by becoming a declared candidate.

Rockefeller told newsmen in Washington Thursday, "I have no plans to go into any primaries as of the present time." After Romney pulled out of the GOP presidential nomination race Wednesday, Rockefeller said he still was not a candidate but repeated that he would accept a draft.
