INCUMBENTS HANG
ON TO POSITIONS
IN STATE VOTING
(By Associated Press)
In primary elections in three
states yesterday, most of the "ins"
stayed in, or with the vote still
being counted, looked likely to win
their races for renomination.
In all candidates were picked for
54 House seats in New York, Mis-
sissippi, Wyoming and Delaware.
Party conventions Sept. 6 and 7
will name New York's candidates
for governor and U. S. senator.
Only five out of New York's 45
congressmen faced opposition in
yesterday's balloting.
Winning renomination were veteran
upstate Republicans Edwin A.
Hall of the 37th District, W. Sterling
Cole of the 39th, and Clarence
E. Kilburn of the 34th; and Democrat
Louis B. Heller of the 7th in
Brooklyn.
Hall's victory was decided today.
In a four way race, he won over
his nearest rival, Lester R. Mosher,
by only 254 votes.
Democrat Joseph L. Pfeifer, who
has represented Brooklyn's 8th
District for 16 years was defeated
by a political newcomer, attorney
Victor L. Anfuso.
Unofficial returns
from other
states showed:
Mississippi:
Rep.
Arthur Win-
stead (5th)
apparently won the
Democratic renomination--which is
the same thing as election in Mis-
sissippi--over four opponents. He
was attacked for his vote against
economic aid to Korea and his
record on national defense.
In Wyoming:
Rep. Frank A. Barrett defeated
three opponents for the Republican
nomination for governor.
Former Rep. John J. McIntyre
was ahead of two opponents for
the Democratic nomination for
governor.
Delaware:
Delaware Democrats
picked Henry Winchester of Brandywine
Hill as the party's candidate against
Republican Rep. J.
Caleb Boggs.
