Food was being cooked at the jail ior more than 500 distressed persons and Boy Scouts served it. Distribution oi clothing continued street by street as supplies arrived from other Caribbean islands.

Many got impatient waiting in iood queues and a. number oi scui- iies occurred. One woman was in- jured and taken to hospital. There is really no proper organization oi food line-ups and there is contin- ual fighting and pulling.

The result, unlikely to be known until late tomorrow. was as much a gamble as any poker game is, despite the rival advance claims oi the leading players.

But Governor Thomas E. Dewey oi New York, whose camp has been reporting gain alter gain in delegation support, remained jubi-

lantly confident that more than ha]! the 1.094 delegates will vote for lhim on the second or third
