Party leaders had feared the opening night session would run into the daylight hours. But the showdown votes on California and Illinois were fol lowed by a series of compromises that quickly brought the opening session to a close a few minutes before 5 a.m. EDT. In terms of the party's presidential fight, the California test was crucial, perhaps decisive.

According to an Associated Press count, addition of the 151 California votes brought McGovern within about 25 votes a first-ballot nomination with other uncommitted delegates expected to move his way. It took two votes, both decided by larger than expected margins, li settle the California credentials dispute. First, the McGovern forces overturned by a vote of 1,618.28 to 1.238.22 the Credentials Committee's decision which had been engineered by backers of Humphrey, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie and Gov.

George Wallace to deny McGovern all the California votes. Then, by an even broader margin of 1.689.52 to 1.162.23. the McGovern forces defeated an attempt by a Florida backer of Wallace to challenge the par liamentary ground rules set by the presiding officer, Democrat- National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien. In the Chicago case, too, there were two votes as the McGovern side sought at the last moment to compromise even though Daley's side said compromise was impossible. Former Gov.

Frank Morrison of Nebraska, McGovern sup porter, sought to suspend the rules and bring the compromise to the floor a procedure re- quring a two-thirds vote. But it failed to command even a ma jority. losing 1,483.08 to 1,411.05. Then, heeding the plea of fiery Rev. Jessie Jackson, who warn ed that "if one cancer remains in the body, the rest of the body politic will die," the convention voted 1,486.5 to 1,371.5 to reject Daley's bid to supplant the group led by Jackson and Chicago Alderman William Singer.

Daley, who dominated the party's tumultuous 1968 convention in his hometown of Chi cago, never came near the hall, the first time in 20 years he had missed the start of a Democrat ic convention. Then, speeding adjournment of the first of four scheduled sessions, the convention agreed to drop credentials cases affecting delegates from Michigan. Texas, Rhode Island. Washington, Connecticut and Oklahoma. Earlier, it rejected a chal lenge seeking more women in the South Carolina delegation nd the bid of a racially mixed group to supplant the pro-Wall ace.

Alabama group. The California showdown ighlighted a marathon opening- night session as the bitterly divided Democrats launched their convention under reform rules that brought in more women. blacks and young people as well as generating a dozen cre dentials lights. As the convention opened in the brilliantly lit convention hall, roving groups of demonstrators who had broken away from a protest rally assembled outside. One group pulled down a section of a restraining fence.

Until the crucial California contest, most delegates ap peared to show little interest in the proceedings, talking with friends and neighbors and mil line in the aisles despite O'Brien's best efforts to keep the business moving. But the 20-minute debate on Chess Match Finally Underway Break Up And even later, while some 90 nondelegates clustered around a Flamingo Park television to-watch the convention's Califor- ni Credentials Lommwee fight, about 150 cohorts gatnered round the park pool to watch tr small group of men ana women go skinny dipping, after the first nude swim-in last Friday night, police said the nondelegates had agreed io pui such activity under wraps.

Mrs.

Little told authorities the weapon belonged to Patrolman William Olivet, a St. Louis policeman. The two were called before the grand jury investigating the slaying of Oliver's estranged wife, Marilyn. The Franklin County sheriff's office said Oliver admitted the pistol was his and said he put it in Mrs. Little's purse because he did not want to carry it into the grand jury room.

FU. AP) A group of 500 demonstrators splintered" from a Poor People's rally outside the Democratic National Convention on the opening night of the convention and tore down a section of chain-link fence around the Convention Hall. They backed away quickly when 200 policemen formed a double line in the 60-foot-wide breach. After an- hour of running around the flower-covered fence, jumping against it and kicking gates, the demonstrators, most of them young whites, retreated to their campsite at nearby Flamingo Park around 9:30 p.m. Monday.

I A police sergeant was cut lover the eye when a gate was forced open, and a volunteer health group said a few demonstrators were treated for burning eyes from chemical Mace sprayed by police. One arrest was made. About 2.000 persons led by the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy had walked from the park for the rally sponsored by the Poor People's Coalition. Most of them stayed in the area in front of the hall set aside for demonstrations.

Black leaders of the rally later tried to stop the assaults on the fence. During the rally, delegates hurried by to attend the con- ention's opening session. The disorder occurred during its first hour and little notice was taken inside. 'No attempt will be made to force our way into the con- ventions." Abernathy said. "We don't believe in using force.

We have other ways of dealing with the Democratic party." Police said about 300 officers rushed from the Convention Hall i basement to take stations i around the fence and on one oc- casion some 30 Highway Patrol cars raced down a street, blue lights flashing, to disperse a crowd.

Mfa YOUR it REYKJAVIK. Iceland (AP) American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky were to begin play this afternoon in the richest and most publicized world chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops.

Las t-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's sports hall. The table was shortened, the gijpa-and-whiU marble chesstMrd constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2. Spassky, 35, drew the white California brought delegates lo attention amid repeated rounds of applause and boos. And a loud cheer went up from the McGovern California delegates, surrounded by throngs of reporters, as the two votes were announced, assuring the front-running South Dakolan the full 271 delegates he had won in the June 6 California primary.

With addition of the 151 dis-p California delegates, McGovern's committed first-ballot strength some 48 hours before presidential balloting begins Wednesday night reached 1.485.35 just 23 65 short of the 1,509 needed to win. A swing of uncommitted dele-gates is expected to put McGovern past that mark before the balloting The clear, 380-vote margin of the California challenge was accepted by the defeated Humphrey forces. "It was a great fight," said San Francisco Mayor Joseph L. Alioto. "I still think it is wrong for 44 per cent of the vote (McGovern's California percentage in an eight-candidate field) to have 100 per cent of the delegates.

But the vote ts in and we accept it," he added. Before O'Brien could an nounce the vote, Norman Bie of Clearwater. rose to challenge the ground rules, forcing the second roll call of the fight. Even while the second vote was taking place, McGovern issued a statement from his Doral Beach Hotel headquarters a couple of miles up the beach, saying he was gratified but not surprised. He declared: "It would seem now that the nomination we have anticipated is within our grasp." The California showdown came midway through a dozen credentials challenges.

Earlier, theconvention had voted against adding more women to the South Carolina delegation and against replacing Wallace's Alabama delegation with a rival group, loyal to the national party. The divided Democrats launched what promised to be another tumultuous and historic convention in a tightly guarded hall. Outside, about 500 mostly white demonstrators pulled down a portion of chain-link fence before police, armed with billy ciubs, stepped in to stop them. Minutes before, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference promised that his "poor people" group would demonstrate peacefully until given 750 convention hall seats by Democratic party officials.

The long opening-night session began half an hour late at 8 p.m. with welcoming speeches by Sen. Lawton B. Chiles, and Rep. Claude Pepper of Florida, Miami Beach Mayor -Chuck Hall, and O'Brien.

A 1 1 through the session, pro-and anti-McGovern forces maneuvered on the floor for the California showdown. 4-72 On the South Carolina creden tials vote, several groups of McGovern supporters switched their votes away from the women challengers at the last moment in order to make sure that a parliamentary test of how many votes were needed on ere. dentials cases would be delayed until the California vote. With the 151 disputed California delegates unable to vote on their own case, the McGovern their own case me Mcyovern forces felt confident of atiaining ine I.JO vuies lliai irii imu ruled-would be needed. In the end.

even their last-minute opti mistic prediction of 1,520 votes was exceeded. Fran Ma nkiewicz, McGovern's national political director, said more than 60 dele-: gates, manv of them Muskie i supporters, had backed the bid to restore the 151 California McGovern delegates. A dozen, led by Sen. Stevenson, were in Illinois. The switchover came despite i decision to join Humphrey in a last-ditch battle against the front-runner from South Dakota.

Muskie made the announcement Monday after McGovern spurned -his efforts for a closed-door meeting of presidential contenders to seek a compromise on the California and Illinois credentials cases. If I were a delegate," Mus kie declared. "I would vote to sustain the California challenge because I think it is founded on merit." That challenge alleged that California's winner-take-all primary law violates party rules requiring that the views of all Democrats be represented in the delegate-selection process. Muskie's decision came after two day in which the McGovern forces sought to convince him to join in supporting the result of the California primary. In the end, Muskie refused, presumably because his only hope of staying in the presidential race he had entered last January as top-heavy favorite was by denying the South Dako- tan the 151 California votes.

Hearnes delived votes to the stop McGovern columns on California. He said after the South Da kota senator's floor forces swept to their stunning victory on Cali fornia that, "a slim chance" of stopping a McGovern nomination would remain if a minor ity Illinois credentials report that would have seated Daley and 58 supporters was adopted.

But when the Illinois votes were linally counted after 4. a.m., McGovern had posted an other floor Cght victory that put him nearer to nomination but a further from carrying Illinois November. On the Illinois minority report, Hearnes and the two senators voted with Daley, reducing the McGovern-onented vote in Missouri to a hard-core 13. There was one abstention. Earlier, Missourians had tak their lead from Hearnes to vote 57V4 to 15 '-i against a sus pension of the rules that would have allowed the convention to consider an Illinois compromise that would have given the McGovern and Dalev delegates one-half vote each.

The motion suspend the rules fell far short of the requisite two thirds majority with 1411.05 votes to consider compromise and 1483.08 vote for a winner-take-all floor test in the Illinois delegate battle. Hearnes, holding the McGovern votes on California to even fewer than some observers had expected, said the Missouri vote showed that a solid major ity of the state's delegates "are opposed to McGovern and are for Muskie." Sen. Eagleton, who told the delegates be would be voting with McGovern forces on California during the caucusing yes terday afternoon, had termed a victory on California cruicial to McGovern's chances for the nomination. An exuberant Sam F. Hamra who endorsed the McGovern candidacy on May 30, said after the California totals were con firmed and a complex point of order raised by Florida decided that "It's all over bu.the shout ing." Hamra is 7th District Democratic chairman and the only McGovern committed dele gate irom the district at a caucus of the Missouri delega lion last Wednesday in Jefferson City to add 12 women with one-half vote to the delegation and reduce the votes of the 12 men.

Two other Ozarks area delegates admitted privately that although Missouri went with Mus kie on California "the ballgame may be over." In reference to Eagleton's de cision, one 7th District delegate remarked "he might just have to forget about southwest Mis souri politically. With at least the 50 votes sol idly with Hearnes on California McGovern's first ballot strength in the state is not expected at this point to pass 20. A reliable count, one accepted by the McGovern forces, is 18 votes for the South Dakota senator, most of the uncommitted votes for Muskie and perhaps a half-doz en for Sen. Hubert Humphrey. The unity of the anti McGovern vote was demonstra ted in the California roll call with checks of the Missouri dele gation revealing no novement to McGovern in the Missouri dele gation even as it became more and more obvious that he was on his way to victory on the ere dentials challenge in that state Although the large states passed on the first California roll call, Missouri's tally of 504 against the minority reportand 22V4 in favor was announced by Hearnes the first time Mis souri's name was called.

Since we won the California fight, what difference doe it make?" asked Hamra. "What difference do two votes make now? Our interest is harmony In our delegation." The McGovern forces had brought the challenge because McGovern lost two votes in the adding of the 12 women. The challenge would have to have been resurrected on the convention floor in a bid to over turn a ruling by Mrs. Patricia Harris, chairman of the national Credentials Committee. Mrs.

Harris ruled no chal lenge existed because the minority report challenging the ad dition of the women had been signed by the leaders of the Mis- aouri majority and thus it was not a minority report.
