The American Jewish Conference today announced that 28 delegates to the Conference have been elected from Manhattan, headed by Rabbi Bernard Bergman, representing the Yeshiva Mesifta Rabbi Solomon Kluger, who received the largest number of votes. In second place was Dr. Stephen S. Wise. The number of votes received by Rabbi Bergman came as a surprise since he is not well known in Jewish circles here.

Perlman, Dr. Samuel Margoshes, Benjamin Winter, Mrs. Moses Epstein, Louis Fabricant, Herbert S. Sussman, Harry M. Wessel, Haim Greenberg, Carl Sherman, Jacob Fishman, Mrs. Stephen S. Wise, Herman Z.
