Members of the anti-Sprtnger faction disagreed. “This Isn't something you can ( do overnight.” said <me. "W’e, didn't expect to do it in a hurry " Observers speculated, however. I that there was some difficulty in I lining up 11 of the 22 district lead | ers who make up the state committee If enough signatures could be obtained to force a special meeting, it was assumed that Springer would, be removed. One kev to the situation apparently was ninth district 1 hairman Ivan Morgan of Austin who was reported willing to sign only if he was sure a majority would do so. other votes the antiSpringer boys counted on were those of Ira Hixon of the second district: Mrs. Arthur Robinson, 11th district vice-chairman; and Mrs Alice Nelson, first district vice-, hafrman.
