McCathy was emboldened to hope that he might dethrone Johnson because of the clear protest of New Hampshire voters against White House policies.

They contend that there were 4,640 write-ins for him on the Republican ballot, where they said Johnson got none. That write-in vote will not be known for at least a week. Whether this would have any effect on seeming determination to run again or convince him that he ought to alter his policies remained speculative.

The New Hampshire delegate surge for McCarthy, despite his trailing Johnson in the popularity contest, was attributed to the fact that the senator could limit the number of his candidates.

Johnson, as a non-candidate, could not. Thus while Johnson supporters bucked each other in many races, McCarthy men slipped in to win individual contests. The optimistic McCarthy said he expects to win the Wisconsin primary, where 59 delegates will be chosen, and go on to victory in the Chicago party convention. A Reassessment For R. Kennedy Sen.

Robert Kennedy Wednesday said he was "reassessing my position as to whether I'll run against President Johnson'' for the Democratic presidential nomination. The New York Demo- crat said he was making the reassessment as a result of the New Hampshire primary in which Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota, made a strong showing in opposition to Johnson.
