(WSJ) — Fractious Republicans gather in Manhattan this week to back a candidate for governor after three months of infighting between a Democrat-turned-Republican supported by the party chairman and a former congressman who appears to have the edge with convention delegates.
Hanging in the balance is the fate of state GOP Chairman Edward Cox, the son-in-law of President Nixon, and his favorite for governor, Steve Levy, the Suffolk County executive whom Mr. Cox persuaded to switch to Republican from Democrat.
