Injunction For Friday Application of Yarborough-for-Governor forces for injunction to keep pro-Shivers delegates from three a ay night Marthall Democratic "rump" conventions out of next Saturday's county convention will be heard by District Judge Sam B.

Scott Baldwin, young Marshall attorney who was elected chair man pf one of the precinct conventions held Saturday night in Precinct 2. Mr. Baldwin pleaded that the county clerk under state law has no discretionary' power other than to pass along to the county chair man whatever precinct convention records are filed with him within three days after such conventions are held.

While accepting the Precinct 1 convention at which Horace Bla lock, second state senatorial dis trict campaign chairman for Gov. Allan Shivers, was elected chair man, the application contends that "rump" sessions in the other three city precincts were Illegal. Should Mr. -Link pass along to Mr. Spangler the results of the three "rump" sessions, Mr.

The Yarborough supporters "generated lots of enthusiasm and were freely predicting victory." Shivers, bidding for an unprecedented third elective term, led the Austin attorney in last Saturday's Democratic primary by a vote of 666,226 to 642.374.

The candidate said be was "amjied" at the response county campaign managers gave invitations to- the meeting.
