Cynthia Lummis was one of several scheduled speakers who were put on hold Monday when first-day events at the Republican National Convention.

Cynthia Lummis was one of several scheduled speakers who were put on hold Monday when first-day events at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., were limited to three hours because of Hurricane Gustav.

As of Monday afternoon, Wyoming's Republican U.S. House candidate didn't know if or when she would be allowed to address the delegates.

"We don't know if she's been postponed or canceled," said Lummis spokeswoman Annaliese Wiederspahn. "It's yet to be determined."

Lummis had been given two minutes to speak at the convention.

Speeches by President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and first lady Laura Bush were among those that had also been scheduled for Monday night but were canceled. Mrs. Bush planned to spend the opening day of the convention meeting delegates informally.
