Stassen May Win Only 8 Of 23 Races COLUMBUS, Ohio, May I ufw Swelling ballot total pointed today toward Henator Robert A. Taft aa the probable winner of IS of Ohio' conteated (lOP presidential nom. mating vote. Any such final result would hold Harold E. 8taaen to eight delegates, four leas than the majority of It he predicted he woold get. On nearly complete returns Taft had nailed down 11 delegates In yesterday hard-fought primary with Stassen. The Ohloan had ex cellent prospects of getting an ad ditional delegate-at-large. Hla can didates led in three other races. Leads Two Stassen. with six of his candidate elected, held the lead In two other races. Taft predicted in Washington that he win go Into the Phlladel phla convention with the backing of 45 of the state's 63 delegate. That figure Include the 3 he col lected automatically when Stanen railed ta enter candidate against thern. Unless the tabulations trend al ters sharply, he appeared almost sure to capture the sole delegate-at- large post for which Stassen en tered a candidate. This would give Taft 12. the majority which Stas sen predicted in advance he would take away from the senator. Stassen apparently had elected six delegates and his candidates ' were leading In two other races, for a total of eight.
