However, the U.S Court, of Appeals for the District of Columbia, late Wednesday suspended the effect of that ruling until 2 p.m:' today to give the parties a chance to appeal to'the Supreme Court. At the same time, the three judge panel of the VS. Court or Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld the Democratic credentials committee's decision ousting Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley and 58 other Illinois delegates, it enjoined a move in Chicago courts to reinstate the Daley delegates. This was another plus for McGovern since the Daley slate was uncommitted but a majority of the replacements favor McGovern. Sen. Hubert H.

Asked whether the convention had the power to act in defiance of the court order, Humphrey said "it's my judgment that the convention is the judge of its own membership." If the Circuit Court ruling blands. the delegate count would place MeGovem's strength at 1,436, fewer than 100 short of the 1.509 needed for nomination. Humphrey had 302, Alabama Gov. George C.
