ADLAI'S GLORY ROAD

TIME Correspondents Poll the Delegations

Alabama (26 votes): At least 20 for Stevenson, with two more possible. The others will not vote for any damyankee.

Arizona (16): This is not the year for favorite sons. Arizona is drawing away from Governor Ernest McFarland, will give 16 unit-rule votes to Stevenson.

Arkansas (26): Officially uncommitted, the delegates figure to follow Governor Orval Faubus onto the bandwagon, give 26 unit-rule votes to Stevenson.

California (68): Down the line with Primary Winner Stevenson.

Colorado (20): Last week Harriman was making personal calls to Kefauver delegates, without notable success. The present breakdown: 12 1/2 for Stevenson, five for Harriman, 2 1/2 undecided. Of the fence sitters, one leans to Stevenson, 12 to Harriman.

Connecticut (20): Solid for Adlai.

Delaware (10) : Still uncommitted but, under the unit rule, almost certain for Stevenson.

Florida (28): Stevenson won 22 in the primary, Kefauver six. Of Kefauver's half a dozen, four are leaning to Stevenson, one is for anyone except Stevenson, one is undecided.

Georgia (32) : Barring a big civil-rights blowup, 32 for Stevenson.

Idaho (12): Wide open between Stevenson and Harriman. Under the unit rule, the winner takes all.

Illinois (64): Still 49 for Adlai in his home state. The other 15 (previously for Symington) are doggedly anti-Stevenson, may be ready for Harriman plucking, but should be counted as undecided.

Indiana (26): All were bound to Primary Winner Kefauver on the first ballot. The probable post-Kefauver count: 20 for Stevenson, five for Harriman, one for Symington.

Iowa (24) : State Chairman Jake More has come out for Harriman, thereby helping Ave pick up the Kefauver pieces, but Iowa's delegation stands 14 for Stevenson, 7 1/2 for Harriman, 2 1/2 undecided.

Kansas (16): Kefauver's withdrawal nailed down the unit-rule delegation for Stevenson.

Kentucky (30) : All for Governor A. B. ("Happy") Chandler, who swears he is a bona-fide candidate.

Louisiana (24): Under the unit rule, 24 lukewarm votes for Stevenson.

Maine (14): Governor Edmund Muskie is quietly pro-Adlai, but Stevenson is drooping, Harriman climbing. Now divided 52 for Adlai, 5 1/2 for Ave, three undecided (of which 1 1/2 lean to Harriman).

Maryland (18): Stevenson is almost certain to pick up Primary Winner Kefauver's 18 unit-rule votes.

Massachusetts (40): Still planning to bide a while with Favorite Son John

McCormack. After the first round, at least 30 should go for Stevenson. As Stevenson comes within close range of the nomination on the first ballot, a Massachusetts switch might be decisive.

Michigan (44) : Still with Governor G. Mennen Williams, who might throw the delegation to Stevenson for expediency or to Harriman for principle (Williams and Harriman have both criticized Stevenson's moderation line).

Minnesota (30) : Estes Kefauver won 26 votes in the primary with a group of outcasts from the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party. Stevenson won four. How Kefauver's delegates will go now is up in the air.

Mississippi (22): Governor J. P. Coleman favors. Stevenson, but Mississippi is unlikely to decide until after the civil-rights plank is settled.

Missouri (38): Instructed to stick with Favorite Son Stuart Symington until released. Symington says he will hold the delegation at least through the first ballot. After that: Stevenson.

Montana (16): Delighted to be out from under Primary Winner Kefauver, the Montana delegates now stand 7 1/2 for Stevenson, four for Harriman, 4 1/2 waiting and watching.

Nebraska (12): All for Stevenson.

Nevada (14): In a faction-split state, Harriman is edging up. The present count: six for Ave, four for Adlai, two for Symington, one-half for Lyndon Johnson, 1 1/2 undecided.

New Hampshire (8): In 1952 and 1956 Estes Kefauver made big mileage out of primary wins in little New Hampshire. Now the game is up, and the count stands 5 1/2 for Stevenson, 1 1/2 for Harriman, one uncommitted.

New Jersey (36): New Jersey is ready to throw all its votes to Stevenson, but the safest first-ballot bet remains 36 for Governor Robert Meyner.

New Mexico (16): With Senator Clinton Anderson's widely publicized help for Adlai. probably eleven for Stevenson, five for Harriman.

New York (98): A wan Harriman picks up color with 91 1/2 from his home state, 6 1/2 for Stevenson.

North Carolina (36) : Thirty-two for Stevenson, one for Harriman, one for Symington, 1 1/2 undecided--and the hardest-dying one-half vote in the convention for Estes Kefauver.

North Dakota (8): Bereft of Kefauver, undecided but hoping to wind up with the winning candidate.

Ohio (58): For Governor Frank Lausche, 54 restless, probably pro-Stevenson votes; for Stevenson, four.

Oklakoma (28): Staying with Harriman under the unit rule.

Oregon (16): All for Primary Winner Stevenson.

Pennsylvania (74): A big 60 for Stevenson, with 14 to follow the lead, if indicated, of Harry S. Truman.

Rhode Island (16): If Stevenson really shoots for a first-ballot nomination he can get all 16 of Rhode Island's votes, including that of Kefauver Adviser Howard McGrath.

South Carolina (20): All instructed for Governor George Bell Timmerman Jr. They may go later to Stevenson if the delegates approve of the civil-rights plank.

South Dakota (8): Kefauver won the primary; the delegation is looking for a new man, with a majority seeming to favor Harriman, despite the pro-Stevenson influence of Native Son Hubert Humphrey, presently of Minnesota.

Tennessee (32): Now the unit-rule delegation need not even give Tennessean Kefauver a "courtesy" vote (though Estes is a convention delegate). Under the leadership of Governor Frank Clement, the convention keynoter, 32 for Stevenson.

Texas (56) : All for Favorite Son Lyndon Johnson. But Lyndon is the boy to release the delegation at the right moment (Permanent Chairman Sam Rayburn of Texas will surely recognize the Lone Star standard at its first wave) and perhaps win credit for putting Stevenson over the top on the first ballot.

Utah (12): Still eight for Stevenson, four for Harriman.

Vermont (6): At least 5 1/2 for Adlai, with a stubborn one-half for Symington.

Virginia (32): A probable early-ballot, unit-rule vote to Lyndon Johnson, with a later swing to Stevenson if the civil-rights plank seems satisfactory.

Washington (26): With Senator Warren Magnuson ready to step out as a favorite son, Washington stands to go 21 for Stevenson, five for Harriman.

West Virginia (24): For Stevenson, 20 1/2 for Harriman, 1 1/2 for Symington, one; undecided, one.

Wisconsin (28): Trying to make a vice-presidential deal for Primary Winner Kefauver, the delegation is still at odds' ends.

Wyoming (14): The delegation shapes up 7 1/2 for Harriman, 4 for Stevenson, one for Symington, 1 1/2 undecided.

Alaska (6): All for Stevenson under the unit rule.

District of Columbia (6) : All for Stevenson, who won the primary.

Canal Zone (3): All for Stevenson.

Hawaii (6) : Instructed for Stevenson.

Virgin Islands (3): For Stevenson.
