(AP) People The test vote deciding the majority had been expected to come on South Carolina, the first challenge to be taken up.

But it was put off when the Palmetto State challenge was defeated by a roll call of 1,555.75 to 1,429 05. This was well over the absolute majority of 1,509 votes, and thereby deprived Humphrey's forces of the chance to set in motion their appeal of party chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien's ground rules. South Carolina Gov. John C.

West was prevented from challenging O'Brien's ruling and force a showdown over the crucial question of the size of a majority vote. But he claimed a victory of sorts for the stop-McGovern camp. The defeat of his delegation's challenge he said, "indicates he (McGovern) does not have the votes at present for the nomination." Said West: "I think it's the first real Indication of an open convention. It's not locked up. It slows Mc-Govern's momentum." After the indecisive South Carolina skirmish, delegates overwhelmingly rejected on a voice vote an attempt by black-led challengers to unseat the 37-member Alabama delegation, of which 29 support Gov.

George C. Wat lace. Joseph Califano, the party's lawyer, told UPI it still might require 15 to 16 hours to settle contests on the other states. Mrs. Patricia Roberts Harris, a black Washington, D.C., attorney who is chairman of the credentials committee, was greeted with a standing ovation when she took the chair to begin consideration of the delegate seating challenges.

"I hope you feel that way about 10 a.m.," quipped Mrs. Harris in reference to the expected long and bitter dispute, especially over the California delegation. Before the start of the credentials debate, disputes in-volving Virginia, Kentucky, Hawaii and Missouri were withdrawn, and the one over Georgia was settled, although it still had to be brought to the floor. O'Brien gavpled the bitterly divided convention into session at 8 p.m. EDT, exactly a half-hour behind schedule, and more than 5,000 delegates and alternates settled in their seats in the cavernous red, white and blue hall for a long and stormy night.

Ahead of them lay a decision on the 271-member California delegate credentials contest, one that could well make or break McGovern's chances for a first ballot presidential nomination tomorrow night.

CERMOND Washington Bureau Chief Gannett Newt Service MIAMI BEACH "Senator Muskie, is it true that you ara indecisive?" "Well, maybe I am and maybe I'm not." This was one of the standard jokes of Sen.

Edmund S. Muskie's campaign this year for the Democratic presidential nomination. And although it was exaggerated, it contained that kernel of accuracy that made it revealing. Yesterday he showed the Democratic National Convention and the nation just how serious a problem he sometimes can have in acting decisively. For 24 hours the convention headquarters had been alive with reports he would throw his support to George McGovern on the pivotal California credentials issue and thus assure once and for all McGovern's nomination.

And Muskie was holding a marathon series of private meetings with former supporters urging him to do just that in the interest of party unity. The pressure was heavy from Gov. John J. Gilligan of Ohio and two of the nation's most influential labor leaders, Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers and Jerry Wurf of the Federal, State and Municipal Employes Union. At mid-morning Muskie announced he had a statement he would issue late in the morning, and the anticipation heightened.

But when it came, it was a reflection of a man still in limbo. Muskie said he had some views on the California and Illinois cases but he didn't want to spell them out just yet. Instead, he wanted a meeting of other candidates to seek a compromise to the two touchy questions. The meeting never had a chance, if only because McGovern obviously would be reluctant to bargain away the victory he thought he could win on the California case.
