As soon as the Illinois count was announced, a roar rocked the teeming convention hall. The McGovern delegates, who have controlled the convention through all three nights, shouted and stamped in joy. Other convention stories on Pages 3, 7, 8, 9, 21 and 22. McGovern floor lieutenants, part of the dazzling organization that built his candidacy through 18 months of work, embraced one another. McGovern easily outdistanced a field of candidates among whom the remaining votes were scattered.

Chisholm and former North Carolina Gov. Terry Sanford. New convention rules restricted demonstrations that have for years been a part of nomination night. Each- candidate was given only 15 minutes for one nominating speech and two seconding speeches. Cheering time was taken out of that allotment.

McGovern swept to victory by 'amassing 1,715.35 votes on the initial roil call. Ironically, 119 of Illinois' votes for McGovern put the South Dakota senator past the 1,509 level needed for the nomination as the clock near-ed midnight.

of Wilmington announced his candidacy for re-election last night in an atmosphere reminiscent of his entry into the 1968 race. Haskell's announcement and his claim to have achieved his goal of turning the city around were greeted by cheers from the partisan crowd that jammed the steamy Fournier Hail. As in 18, the announcement calculated to aid the fortunes of Russell W. Peterson, an ally of Haskell who faces challenge when he goes after the GOP nomination for re-election as governor on Monday- announces candidacy A BUSLOAD of city police was at the airport, but apparently no police cars were any closer than 100 yards to the plane. After a five-hour wait at the Philadelphia Airport, Harry Belinger, commerce director for the City of Philadelphia, said another National 727 was to arrive there from Miami the money at 1:40 a.m.

and the hijackers then would transfer to the second aircraft. Sarge Glenn, a deputy U.S. marshal, identified one of the hijackers as an Ethiopian who used the name "Taffa" and the other as a man who used the name "Green." National said 63 persons boarded the plane at Philadelphia. As the evening wore on, families of those who boarded the plane returned to the airport and were given a special room to gather and wait. An operations spokesman at Kennedy International Airport in New York said the captain of the three-engine Boeing 727 radioed he had a man aboard with a sawed-off shotgun and a box which he said contained a bomb.

The flight, which originated in Miami and was en route to New York with several stops including Philadelphia, carried 113 passengers and a crew of five, according to Glenn. IT was commandered after it left Philadelphia en route to New York's Kennedy airport. The plane returned to Phila-deplhia and landed about 8:45 p.m. after circling the Philadelphia airport for about an hour. Glenn said the man he identified as "Taffa" earlier had tried to buy a ticket on a Delta airlines plane at Philadelphia.

The man was reportedly asked for identification and ran from inside the tarry G. Haskell Jr. he running, too fort by the AFL-CIO was mounted to try to block McGovern, wound up second in the balloting with 525 votes before the delegates began switching votes at the conclusion of the roll call. McGovern's most formidable opponents, Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie, had dropped out of the race Tuesday. Gov. George C. Wallace, who astounded party ledaers with victories in several primaries this sp'ring, was third.

The other votes were strung out among nine candidates and noncandidates. REP. Shirley Chisholm, the first woman to be nominated for president on the floor of a convention, wound up fourth but was first to mount the speaker's stand and plead for hoboth Beach convention to force Peterson into a primary showdown next month. Buck-son is within striking distance of that number. Haskell accepted a draft to run for mayor four years ago in response to pleas that his candidacy would help his friend Peterson win the gubernatorial election.

The scenario last night was almost a carbon copy of Haskell's 1968 announcement. It was another hot night in July and 300 supporters crowded into the West Side hall for beer and pizza and political hoopla. NINETEEN times the crowd interrupted Haskell's See 300 GOP-Page 19, Col. 1 owed money on its telephone service. Babiarz said a secretary for the manager of the Tri-State Mall told him Lady Eden had been given until noon today to pay its back rent.

MRS. Styler said a truck came to the Tri-State mall salon around 7:30 Tuesday night to take the salon's equipment to Piscataway, N.J. It was spotted by an electrician who has a large outstanding bill with the salon, she said. The electrician called the mall management, and the truck was stopped. The equipment is now locked in the basement of one of the vacant stores in the mall, according to Mrs.

Styler. The rug in the salon was wet, but it had been vacuum-dried and did not require the equipment to be removed, Mrs. Styler said. Mrs. Styler said the Tri-State Mall salon did more than $4,000 worth of business in May.

She said the money was deposited in a Lady Eden account in the Delaware Trust and she had no control over how bills were paid. LADY Eden, has several other creditors in Delaware. One creditor said yesterdav tie is owed more than $1,000. Mrs. Kaczmarczyk said yesterday that the rent is fully paid in the Tri-State Mall as far as she knows.

She said all members of the Lady Eden Salons will be "replenished." Mrs. Styler "doesn't know too much about the situation because she's just an employe." she said.

An hour and a half after the Boeing 727 landed, pilot Elliott Adams dove out of the cockpit and was picked up off the runway by police. A doctor who treated him said Adams told him he jumped because he only had enough fuel for about five miles and he wouldn't subject his passengers to a crash. the sign in July 10. hijacked, Adams told the doctor the hijackers had guns and a package they said was a bomb and that they were desperate. The plane lost its electrical power vhile sitting on the runway, the control tower said, and the hijackers asked for another plane.

THE jet, Flight 496, was on its way into Kennedy Airport in New York when the hijackers took over and directed the pilot back to Philadelphia. It landed just before 9 p.m. The airport was closed to all other flights, many of which were diverted to the Greater Wilmington Airport. Patrick Henry, an agent for National, said an Army plane brought in the parachutes. There was no official word on what arrangements were being if any, for the ransom money.

Glenn said that, during a conversation with the tower, the pilot mentioned the name of the man identified as "Green." THE plane diverted to Fort Worth was kept from landing by severe thunderstorms in the area. It was taken over Dy a man who demanded $500,000 and parachutes. The three-engine plane was enroute from Oklahoma City to Dallas, when the hijacker took it ever and ordered the pilot to fly to Fort Worth, about 30 miles from Dallas. Bad weather prevented the pilot from landing at Fort Worth, however, and the plane returned to Oklahoma city and landed at Will Rogers Airport.

An American Airlines spokesman said the hijacker, described as abaut 45, 6-feet and extremely nervous had demanded the money in circulated $100 bills and "we are making every effort to accede to his demands." THE spokesman said the hijacker "has a pistol, but he has not used it in any threatening manner."

Buckson made good his drive to deprive Peterson of renomination. Haskell didn't back off from that pledge last night. "I'm running again, period," he said.

"He's confident Buckson will not be nominated," said Allan C. Rusten, administrative aide to Haskell.

Lady Eden salons are run by Mrs.

Dorothy Kaczmarczyk of Piscataway, N.J., and her sister, Mrs. Audrey Bietz of Flemington, N.J. Mrs. Kaczmarczyk, who is staying in the Skyways Motor Lodge at the Greater Wilmington Airport, said last night that both the Tri-State Mall and the Dover salons would definitely be reopened. She said the Tri-State Mall salon has been closed because a leak in the roof flooded the salon with rain water and soaked the rug.

Insurance regulations forced her to have the equipment removed, she said. The Dover office is closed for electrical repair work, according to Mrs. Kaczmarczyk. She said a notice about this was taped to the door of the salon, but it may have fallen off. THE Kirkwood Highway salon was closed because of electrical problems there, she said.

The three salons closed for the July 4 holiday and were never reopened. It was announced that the salon at 3621 Kirkwood Highway was being permanently closed, and customers were referred to the salon in the Tri-State Mall. However, the equipment, desks, files and records have been pulled out of the Tri-State Mall salon, and the Lady Eden management has been given until noon today to pay two month's back rent. THE salon in the Treadway Towers in Dover bears a sign saying it was to reopen July 7.

Sources in the Dover Chamber of Commerce say the two women who ran the salon have moved out of the Country Club Apartments. The three salons each have more than 200 customers under contract, according to Mrs. Betty Styler, manager of the Tri-State Mall salon. The customers were sold $40 or $60 contracts that were good for a month, she said. Mrs.

Styler said neither she nor Debby Beecher, the manager of the Kirkwood Highway salon, were told of Lady Eden's plans to close the salons. "As of June 30, we were still selling contracts to these women," she said. "I feel terrible about this." Gov. Russell W.
