Dwight D. Eisenhower's jubilant partisans strove today to turn smashing test-vote triumphs over Sen. Robert A. Taft into-a victory bandwagon for the grand prize of this Republican conven- tion—the presidential nomination. They claimed it was all over but the balloting as a result of Eisenhower's decisive edge in the turbulent floor battle with Taft at Wednesday night’s session— stretching into the early morning— over contested delegates from Georgia and Texas. Taft was not conceding a thing. He said: “I expect to be nominated on an early ballot.” And supporters of Earl Warren and Harold Stassen said they still saw a chance for an Eisenhower- Taft deadlock that could nomination to either of front-runners.
