Charles II. Percy ol Illinois has been told that liis chances for Hie 197U Republican president i a nomination will be helped by increased GOP reliance on primaries and other "open" procedures. Tlic appraisal came from a political consulting firm hired by Hie Illinois senator lo do ini- i a research in case he decides in 1975 lo fight for the GOP i a i The firm, Bailey, Deardourff iiuil Eyer. found'that the Republican nominating process has become a relatively open pi'oci'durc. Tliis is imporlanl for Percy, who would rely on public sup- port to overcome anticipated opposition from many parly officials.

"Tlic basic conclusion," said a source familiar with the study, "is thai the delegate selection system in practically every slale is a fairly open process." Nearly 1,400 of Ihe 2,240 dele- gales lo the I97G Republican convention will be chosen in primaries, with several states considering switching to the primary system. Most of the others will choose Ilieir delegates al either slate or regional conventions, after a process a i from local caucuses open lo all. President Nixon has been as saying he will make sure Percy never reaches the While House. The Illinois senator has been one of tlic sharpest CIOP critics of Nixon's ban-' dling of Watergate scandal. However, a recent Harris poll showed Percy wilh a two per cent lead over Sen.
