Describing his reactions on an hour-long tour of the big pavilion yesterday. Hall told 250 state and national party leaders: "One thing has struck me for cibly, and I am going to take it back to Washington with me to pass on. That was when we were informed the place has excellent heating facilities. "At" most every other conven tion I can recall, the Republican party never considered the need for a warm hall in August." The average high temperature in San Francisco in August is 64 and the average low 53. Summer fogs and sea breezes keep the mercury down along much of the immediate Northern California coast. In a more serious vein. Hall predicted 40,000 visitors will be in San Francisco when the presi dential nominating convention opens on Aug. 20 of next year. Of this number, he said 16,000 will attend the daily convention sessions. "We are organizing this con vention on the assumption that Dwight D. Eisenhower's name will be presented," he said.
