...Chuckled Stevenson's Campaign Manager Jim Finnegan: "Now they'll be sitting around hoping that lightning does not strike." This could only hurt New York's Governor Averell Harriman, who had based his "inactive" candidacy on the hope that he might be tapped after a convention deadlock resulting from a multiplicity of candidates. Harriman's age (64) makes 1956 a now-or-never proposition, and he probably will continue to use his big New York delegation as a power wedge, but in actual fact the New York Daily News managed to sum up Harriman...

During those four months, no other City business was considered...
Round-robin voting by the independents and abstentions by the Civic Association-endorsed members prevented the election of Cambridge's new mayor at the City Council's meeting last night and ended the session in a deadlock in less that one-half hour. After five futile ballots, the council voted to adjourn until next Monday...
