DAILY FACTS, Redlands, Calif. Monday, July 2 California delegations Tunney dropped from California delegation MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Warring leaders of California's divided Democrats held a "reasonably harmonious" summit conference today as they maneuvered for a crucial floor fight over which of their delegates will be seated at the party's convention opening tonight. Sen. John Tunney was an early casualty of the battle over California seating, having been dropped by George McGovern's supporters from their delegate list. McGcvern picked up the significant endorsement of California representative Ron Dellums, the first black elected official to support Rep.

Shirley Chisholm. The Berkeley congressman said he switched allegiances because McGovern is "the only real hope for bringing humanity, peace, freedom and justice to this country and the world." Assemblyman Willie Brown, co-chairman of the McGovern delegation, predicted the South Dakota senator's forces will win tonight's floor fight with at least 1,485 votes more than needed. Leaders of California delegations pledged to rival candidates huddled privately with State Democratic Chairman Charles Manatt and attempted to resolve such touchy issues as who gets his hands on the convention passes, who has access to hot-line floor telephones and who sits where. "It appears we have a bit of harmony and a bit of unity at least until tonight," reported Manatt. "The meeting went remarkably well." Rep.

Chet Holifield, chairman of California's large contingent committed to Sen. Hubert Humphrey, said the summit was "reasonably harmonious" and added that uniting behind the party nominee to defeat President Nixon is "more important than getting sore at this convention and walking out." In addition to the fighting over seats between contesting delegations, there was even a split between rival threemember California slates pledged to Eugene McCarthy.

Shirley Chisholm in a symbolic gesture.

Mrs. Chisholm at the same time told 41 delegates pledged to her to vote their conscience on the California question. McGovern invaded the camps of his rivals, including the Ohio delegation where he won a standing ovation even though a majority of its 79 votes are pledged to Humphrey. "I am confident," McGovern said, "that if the delegates make their judgment tonight on the basis of their conscience and what is fair, there will be no doubt about the results." McGovern has claimed to have enough support in tonight's voting to reverse the credentials committee action which stripped him of 151 of the 271 California delegates he won in that state's June 6 winner- take-all primary. He was seeking a compromise on the Illinois dispute under which Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley and delegates in his bloc would be allowed on the floor with reduced votes. Humphrey held a staff meeting and then visited a gathering of women delegates, continuing to drum on the "I'm-no-quitter" theme he has been sounding in hotel corridors, caucuses and news conferences. "We will fight hard but stay fair," he said. "Are we raising a breed that says 'give it to me; I've earned it and if you don't I'm going to pick up my marbles and walk Success for McGovern on the California and Illinois questions to his leave him with 1,541.4 votes, 32.5 more than needed for victory. Schedule for Democratic convention MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(UPI) is the tentative schedule for the Democratic National Convention, subject to change at any time with the possibility of additional afternoon sessions if business cannot be completed within the planned four days: Monday p.m. EOT: call to order and invocation. Welcoming addresses by Sen. Lawton B. Chiles of Florida, Rep.

Claude D. Pepper of Florida and Mayor Chuck Hall of Miami Beach. Speech by Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien. Report of the Credentials Committee.

Debate and vote on the Credentials Committee report. A parliamentary ruling Sunday from Lawrence F. O'Brien, the party chairman, strengthened McGovern's hand. O'Brien decreed that all delegates except those whose right to vote is under challenge could ballot on whether to seat a challenged delegation. Even if he loses all challenges, they said, he would have a bare minimum of 1,331.5 votes and would pick up the rest toward the 1,509 needed as the roll was called.

He claimed well over twice as many delegates as his nearest rival, Hubert H. Humphrey. UPI's count, reflecting McGovern's loss of 151 California votes and his Illinois loss, showed him with 1,315.95 votes plus 42 leaning his way, putting him 152.05 short of the nomination. The UPI tabulation gave Humphrey 531.55, plus 58 leaning. The uncommitted bloc numbered 311.4.

The Humphrey camp said a convention majority of 1,509 votes should be necessary to settle all disputes. They vowed to fight O'Brien's ruling in the South Carolina challenge, the first and crucial vote which could cast the decisive pattern for the entire convention. Adding to McGovern's optimism was latent support from delegates who would vote for him on a second or third ballot but were bound by state law or state convention to vote for others on earlier ballots. Such committments did not bind them on procedural issues such as the California credentials fight. But the Humphrey camp said even a California win would not ensure McGovern the nomination.

They said he lacked the 1,509 votes for a first-ballot triumph and insisted his support would erode on the second and subsequent ballots, with Humphrey gaining strength as McGovern waned. George C. Wallace displayed far less influence so far than his aides had predicted, remaining secluded in his 20th floor presidential suite of the luxurious Sheraton Four Ambassadors in downtown Miami. His staff discontinued medical reports on his condition, fearing misinterpretations. They conceded that his face sometimes unexpectedly contorted with pain from his abdomen wounds.

But they said Wallace would make an appearance in his wheelchair "at least once" at the convention, perhaps to denounce the platform's "asinine" endorsement of compulsory school busing as a useful tool toward integration. EB and FLO third party MIAMI BEACH (UPI) George Wallace said today he has no plans to be a third party presidential candidate if dissatisfied with the choice of the Democratic convention. The Alabama governor, at his First fullblown news conference since being critically wounded in an assassination attempt May 15. said at the same time that he does not believe the Democrats can win the election without the help of those who support him. Sitting before a battery of microphones in a wheelchair because of paralysis from the waist down from one of the bullets that hit him.

Wallace said he was still an active candidate wouldn't have stayed in the race if he felt he could not physically take it. Wallace stressed again that he felt the Democrats would be in great trouble in November if they did not adopt a platform along the lines he advocates including an antibusing stand and a plank for a strong national defense. "I want the Democratic party to become the party of the average citizen," Wallace said. But he said the party must change its direction or "it will pass into oblivion." As for a third party bid this year, Wallace said "I don't have any plans at all" for that. Wallace expressed willingness to discuss a possible compromise with other candidates on the disputed California delegate issue, but left uncertain just what his position would be, saying "I'd simply be fair." He also said he had no plans for the time being to make an appearance on the convention floor.

Bobby Fischer slipped into the Reykjavik sports arena before dawn today for a minute inspection of the facilities provided for the start of Tuesday's championship match with world titleholder Boris Spassky. Chess sources said Fischer left a list of complaints about the lighting, the table and other facilities.

They said all the complaints could be straightened out before Tuesday's game. Earlier, Fischer had his favorite chair, a black leather and metal swivel model, flown in from New York. Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby.
