Union President Hugo Ernst and his associates reported that Mr. Truman told them he had one or two things he had to take care of before he could make any an nouncement. Taft in his statement today sa|i he has not wished to be a candidate unless he is convinced that “a ma jority of the Republicans really want me to run.” The statement was in response to a letter from 13 Wisconsin party leaders—some of whom have sup ported Harold E.
