The totals certainly were swelled by the patronage army which wanted a complimentary vote for Daley and it hasn't hurt him that Republicans hardly make an effort to beat him. winning Illinois." But the fact remains that any Democrat, even one who caused his exile from the convention, is a tetter alternative for Daley than a Republican president. The federal appointments and funds which Daley uses to nourish his city and his party are not dealt out to him by Republican presidents.

Alderman Leon Despres, an independent who often opposes Daley, says, "Daley will campaign for the candidate. He will have to if he wants to win his county ticket." Despres be- By F. Richard Circone MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Dismissal of Mayor Richard J. Daley from the Democratic National Convention combines with his primary defeat of last March to dim the 70-year-old Chicago leader's political star.

But he remains the man the Democrats must count on to win Illinois in November. Whether Daley adopts an attitude as intractable as his refusal to compromise on the challenge issue which cost him his seat may not be known until about our candidate, the voters in the ethnic neighborhoods will go for Nixon or Wallace or anybody else. If we tell them, 'Our guy's going to lower he'll win." Asked about McGovern's vote-getting ability in Chicago, the committeeman said, "If the mayor says to take a pass, McGovern won't get 25 per cent." Stevenson says, "I have serious questions about McGovern's ability to win Illinois. I have serious questions about any Democrat's chances of it," he said. "McGovern needs him." The challenge leaders, Chicago Alderman William S.

Singer, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, have promoted the theory that Democrats do not need Daley to win in Illinois. The Singer group points to the March primary win of independent Dan Walker who beat Daley's candidate for the party nomination for governor by forging a coalition of supporters from downstate and the Chicago suburbs. But Walker spent $1 million and 18 months to win that campaign, which is something the Democratic party standard-bearer will not be able to match. Sen.

Adlai E. Stevenson, who has had his differences with Daley, said, "If I were a candidate, I'd want him on my side." A Daley committeeman who worked hard to avert the floor fight defeat said of the regular organization's ability to help the presidential candidate: "It's this simple. If our people go out and say nothing the fall campaign begins. But observers believe the mayor will ignore the convention humiliation and support the party's candidate for president. James Wall, a leader of the McGovern forces in the Illinois delegation, discounts the theory that Daley is no longer effective in producing Democratic votes.

"Politics is like a horse race. You don't bet against a good track record, and Daley has Fischer In Tough Position Ted Top Choice For 2nd Spot i niiiiiiijiii'j)piip 1 I mi iw WWH'" ri'L I i Mb 7 tomorrow. .1 probably shouldn't say more." The loss of his bishop was typical of the American. It was an attempt to break the game open, avoiding a standoff. What surprised many was the cautious play in the opening and middle games by Fischer, who has a reputation for killer instinct.

Experts from five countries said it appeared the challenger was trying to force a draw and a split point for the first game. THE 29-YEAR-OLD American needs 12l 2 points to lift Spassky 's crown in the 24-game match, which could spread over two months. Spassky, 35, needs 12 points a draw to retain the. championship, which has been in Soviet hands since 1948. London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the competition.

The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the sponsoring Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125, plus $75,000 of the $120,000 contributed by Lon- don investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers estimated Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 as the players' share in the sale of television and film rights. BEFORE THE players separated Tuesday night, Spassky wrote his 41st move on a sheet of paper, sealed it in an envelope and gave it to Schmid, the referee from West Germany. Schmid will open the envelope this afternoon and make Spassky 's first move for him. The championship match was scheduled to begin July 2, but Gudmundur Thor-arinsson's Icelandic Chess Federation played midwife to delays, arguments and threatened walkouts.

When the tardy Fischer finally strode onto the stage Tuesday afternoon, Thorarinsson breathed an audible sigh of relief from his balcony seat. Continued From Page 1 with the players allotted 22 hours each to make 40 moves. The experts said Fischer was trying for a draw by exchanging pieces, simplifying, trying to reduce the advantage Spassky had by choosing the opening. He galloped his bishop down a long black diagonal, snatching up a Spassky pawn. In a few moves the bishop was trapped.

In the exchange, Fischer lost the bishop for two pawns. Byrne called it a blunder. But if it was a blunder it was an attempt to inject life and perhaps victory into an apparently stalemated game. THE REV. William Lombardy, a Franciscan Roman Catholic priest who acts as Fischer's second, said when the game was adjourned: "It's a difficult position to analyze.

"Since I'll have to analyze it for Bobby before the adjourned match resumes that those listed earlier remain the top contenders Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri said in an interview he has been told by McGovern aides he is one of three leading contenders, along with Nelson and Hart, for the nomination. McGovern aides confirmed that Eagleton is one of those under consideration. WOODCOCK, who discussed the vice presidency with McGovern a week ago, was asked in an interview Tuesday if he would accept the No.

Virtually everyone contacted agreed that Kennedy, who has insisted he won't take the job, remains McGovern's top choice and may be subject to substantial pressure to accept McGovern's call. At least two advisers said their three choices were "Ted Kennedy, Ted Kennedy and Ted MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Edward M. Kennedy as the South Dakota senators's top choice as a running mate. But there is surprisingly strong backing for labor leader Leonard Woodcock. This is the substance of an assessment based on a series of interviews in which the advisers were asked to list the three most likely McGovern choices if, as expected, he wins the presidential nomination Wednesday night. BESIDES Kennedy, the interviews showed considerable backing for three senators Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, Philip A.

Hart of Michigan and Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut and for Gov. Reu-bin Askew of Florida. Ribicoff and Askew have said they're not interested. An aide said Tuesday McGovern's discussions with Sens.

And it was virtually certain there would be only one. Askew sounded in his keynote address a call for unity in a feuding party. He said Democrats have responded to "a coalition of protest," and if they can now unite, they can win. McGovern, meanwhile, altered his position on U.S. policy in Southeast Asia.

He said in a statement that as president he would keep troops in Thailand and naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin until American prisoners are released. He said he is "fully confident there would be no such need." HERETOFORE, McGovern has pledged total U.S. withdrawal. Sen. Henry M.

Jackson of Washington clung to his candidacy, insisting that a McGovern ticket "is going to be in deep trouble." Reps. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas and Shirley Chisholm of New Yoik and former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina were candidates without a chance. McGovern strategists were talking of a vice presidential running mate, with the name of the absent, reluctant Sen.

AND ALREADY, they were beginning the nominee's quest for party unity amid signals that it will be hard to achieve Kennedy was in Hyannisport, on a sailing holiday, but reported working on Senate papers Tuesday. Hart said there were fewer than five names on the vice presidential list, and that of Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers, was another of "liut the elders of organized labor, after a harsh, futile effort to stop McGovern, gave voice to the problem of forging Democratic unity behind the liberal senator. "IF THEY had their preference we would have no president for the next four years," said a spokesman for George Mea-any, president of the AFL-CIO.

McGovern fence-menders sought out Meany, and also sought peace with the forces of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, denied a seat in the convention after decades as a Democratic power broker. McGovern allies sought a compromise to seat Daley for the sake of party unity, but couldn't hold their own, reform-minded delegate troops in line to gain its adoption. The political game was really up early Tuesday, when the roll was called on the first big issue to face the convention: that of seating 151 contested McGovern delegates from California. ON THAT test, McGovern's forces amassed 1,618.28 delegate votes.

That not only gave back his contested delegates; it showed where the power was. Muskie said McGovern won with dedication, skill and hard work, "against enormous odds." He said the party now gains the benefit of those qualities. "Let's now go about the business of winning the presidency and governing wisely," he said. For Humphrey, 61, Miami Beach was West Virginia, 12 years removed. It was in that state that the tearful senator withdrew his candidacy for the 10 nomination, after his primary defeat by John F.

Kennedy. NOW IT was happening again. But my withdrawal from the presidential race is a withdrawal of candidacy only," the Minnesota senator said. "It is not a withdrawal of spirit or determination to continue the battle that I've waged all of my life for equal opportunity, for all of our people, for social justice for this nation." He answered no questions, and his statement did not mention McGovern. But later, in a hallway, he promised to "do my level best" to unite the Democratic party for the campaign against Nixon McGovern, already at work on his acceptance speech, issued a statement saying the Humphrey withdrawal "leaves me with a sense of poignancy, but most of all it reminds us of his 25-year fight for human justice." He said Humphrey had been an old friend, neighbor and counselor, and "that relationship of affection and friendship will continue," Wallace and his wife, Cornelia, went for a cruise, the governor saying he was surprised to learn Humphrey had quit, and adding, "I just hope some of his delegates support me.

The former Muskie delegates said they feared that Daley might not devote his full energy to helping the Democratic nominee, who now appears to be McGovern, to carry the key state of Illinois in the November election. Braud called the contentions "ridiculous," saying "the entire McGovern campaign is based on faith and integrity.

Edmund Muskie at the beginning of the Democratic National Convention here have now aligned themselves with Sen, Henry Jackson of Washington. However, Mrs.

Jeanne Wy-coff, Aledo. one of the delegates, said the action "doesn't mean we might not change our minds" before today's scheduled roll call on the presidential nomination. The five delegates also indicated they were displeased when the delegation Monday night upheld an earlier credentials committee action that cut their voting strength in half and added two votes for Sen. George McGovern to the 19th District group that originally comprised five Muskie delegates and one uncommitted. Mrs.

Wycoff, who is slate central comnntteewoman from the 19th District, said the action "left a bad taste in our mouths." SHE SAID. "I in for Jackson, not because I'm a vengeful old woman, I'm fair-minded. Many people in our area are for Mr. Jackson and 1 have always liked him." Mrs. Rosaline Zukerman, Hoik Island, who became a member of the delegation at the last minute when the credentials committee ordered the five Muskie delegates to choose an additional woman, said she was pleased that the convention upheld the challenge to the original delegation.

Mrs. Zukerman, who promptly switched her support to McGovern when Muskie dropped from the nomination race earlier Tuesday, said, "I wouldn't be here if it hadn't gone this way." Earl Burklund, Moline, the uncommitted delegate who was the only person to retain a full vote when the credentials committee reconstituted the 19th District delegation, also announced his support for McGovern. WILLIAM FOLEY, Rock Island County Clerk, who was elected delegate in the March 21 primary election along with Mrs. Wycoff; Burklund; Stew-art Winstein, Rock Island; Andrew Gianulis, Rock Island, and Cecil Quails, Moline, said he believed a roll call rather than a voice vote should have decided the challenge to elected delegates in the 19th District and three other districts in downstate Illinois. He said persons in the galleries and alternate delegates had illegally joined the voting.

The convention cut the voting strength of the five Muskie delegates in half, then added Mrs. Zukerman and four delegates pledged to McGovern, each with one half vote. Walter Braud, a Hock Island lawyer and only black in the delegation, said he was "delighted" by the fact the convention upheld the credentials committee.
