Russell already had announced plans to run in the Florida contest. His office said no speeches have yet been scheduled, “But there is no doubt the senator will go there.” E. B. Donnell, West Palm Beach, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, pooh-poohed the effect of Kefauver’s New Hampshire triumph. “The Democrats are not going to vote for either President Tru- man or Sen. Kefauver,” he said. “They are going to vote for Sen. Russell of Georgia, at least in the May 6 Democratic presidential primary.” Down at the Little White House at Key West President Truman let it be known that Kefauver's New Hampshire sweep would have absolutely no effect on his decision whether to seek re-election. At a news conference, Presiden- tial Secretary Joseph Short was asked: “Can you give us any guidance on whether the New Hampshire primary will have any effect on his ultimate decision whether to run?” “Absolutely none,” Short said. G. Harold Alexander, Fort My- ers, chairman of the State Repub- lican Executive Committee, said he did not think the New Hamp- shire primary outcome would af- As the Republican vote in Flori- ja. “I think the fact that Sen.
