Dewey to get New York’s 93

Albany, New York (UP) –
Governor Thomas E. Dewey was assured the unanimous support of New York’s 93 delegates to the Republican National Convention as the state committee met today to select eight delegates-at-large.

While no formal endorsement of Mr. Dewey as a candidate for the presidential nomination was expected at the meeting – probably at his own request – the leaders made it clear that the Governor would have the unanimous support of New York’s representatives.
