During the Eisenhower visit, both he and New York's Governor Tom Dewey had talked to Ike by telephone from a Manhattan hotel suite. Neither would say what was said (an observer at Ike's end reported that the general said mostly "un-hunh, un-hunh"), but Dewey and Duff felt sufficiently confident to give marching orders to scores of G.O.P. bigwigs and littlewigs who trooped in & out of their suite for 36 hours.
