Kefauver Claiming Growing Strength Bids To Take Lead To Stop Stevenson CHICAGO, UP —Sen. Estes lsefauver bid today to tak,e the lead in a “stop Stevenson” movement at the Democratic convention and claimed that his own delegate strength is “growing rapidly.” Despite the developing boom to draft Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson for the Democratic presidential nomination, Kefauver told newsmen that he has “a lot of reserve strength” which will be his after a few ballots. Though Kefauver once again de- ’ he claims, his aides were counting he clianis, his aides were counting heavily on increased support from the Massachusetts and Michigan delegations. Kefauver has rejected talk of a Stevenson-Kefauver ticket with the Tennessee' senator as vice presidential nominee. It was made clear at Kefauver headquarters that every effort will be bent toward organizing a Stop Stevenson ’ drive. . I With 2 1 66t4 votes based on the latest United Press tabulation, Kefauver expects to take the lead in freezing up as many votes as possible and withholding them from (he Stevenson movement. He is coulitfng on Averell Harriman with 99 votes and Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia, with strength estimated at 199 votes on the firrit ballot, to help in holding the line.
