Republican Candidate Harold Riegelman got 661,410 votes, 29.9% of the total, the highest percentage that any candidate for mayor of New York City has ever received on the Republican ticket. Tagging along as a poor third (468,392 votes) was Liberal Candidate Rudolph Halley, better known outside New York than any of the other candidates because of his television performances as the Kefauver committee's chief inquisitor...

I told him it was for three copies. The seats are all sold numerically and at that moment he was at the end of one row--he sold me three at the end of one row and three directly behind!
