There were 1 n'rTi I II HI I Til MIS Mill II r3 WASHINGTON, June 30 -It was like one of those Irish celebrations they used to hold on Chicago's South Side. People cheered. They laughed.

A few wept vwith Joy. There was a sense of hysteria in the air. Some hugged and kissed each other in disbelief over their victory. Warren Widener, 34, the black mayor of Berkeley, and a couple of friends circled' arms around each other and did a dance in front of the Democratic Convention Credentials Committee while it was still in session tonight. Tears of Happiness The committee had just ousted Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and his convention delegation.

It had seated the challengers and added 41 supporters of Sen. George McGovern S. D. in the reform delegation. Chicago Aid.

Anna Langford brushed happy tears from her eyes. She is one of the leaders of the insurgent delegation. "We're going to make him a democrat with a small 'd" she said of Daley. Jerome Torschen, one of the two lawyers who pleaded Daley's cause before the committee, was not weeping with joy. The Daley forces will return to Federal Appeals Court here, he laid.

"The court will say 'you can't voilate the constitutional rights of voters by setting aside candidates chosen at a legal election he said. He charged that freedom of speech had been abridged by the action. Credits Minority Power Widener, spokesman for the I people on the Credentials Committee trying to help the Daley cause for one reason or another. It was no good. The onetime kingmaker of the Democratic Party, the shrewd politician that Democratic Presidential candidates came petitioning, was denied a seat at the convention of the party over which he had seemed invincible.

Of course, there will be, a minority report to the convention. Delegates In Miami Beach could reverse tonight's action. So, too, could the courta. Tempers Flare But the melee, the hysterical joy of the reformers and the McGovern people and the Credentials Committee members who just dont cotton to the idea of bossism, the women who felt they deserve more representation on the Daley slate these cannot be eiased. Passion and tempers rose as the long debate wore to an end.

A Latin from California, Francisco Morano, dramatically warned the committee. He pointed to the one Latin on the Daley delegation in a city that is 10 per cent Latin American. REYKJAVIK, Iceland, June 30 AP-Organizers of the world chess championship reported considerable progress tonight in their negotiations with Bobby iFscher's lawyer over a last minute demand for more money by the American challenger. However, after an hour and a half session with Andrew pavis Fischer's attorney, officials of the. sponsoring! Icelandic Chess Federation said they had been given no assurances Fischer would i appear' for the beginning of the match Sunday with Russia's Boris Spassky.

Compromise Sought A spokesman for the federation said he got the impression Davis was seeking a compromise in the dispute over the new financial conditions posed by Fischer. Davis, Fischer's confidant as wellas legsl ad-. viser, arrived here today on a flight from New York which was to have carried the 29-year-old chess genius to the site of his 24-game match. Fischer had reserved space on the plane and checked his luggage on before be changed his mind. He suddenly called for his bags from the air-craft and disappeared from New York's Kennedy Airport after holding up the flight for more than two hours.

Seeks of Gate Davis and officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation must discuss a fresh demand by Fischer for 30 per cent of the gate receipts collected during the match. Without the extra money, he threatened to boycott the match scheduled to begin Sunday. It was learned that Gut-rounder Thorarisson, the federation president, spent most of the night in some- Bobby Fischer at Kennedy Airport, New York City, late Thursday as he apparently was pre paring to fly to Iceland for the championship match. Seconds later, he broke away from a crowd and raced from the airport out into a driving rain. caucus of minorities among the UP WlftfMt! Raymond Simon left, attorney for the Illinois regular delegates, talks with Aid.

Claude Holman, Illinois regular delegate, under exit sign last night at Democratic Credentials Committee hearing in Washington. committee membership -blacks, Latins, and Indians-cried out: times heated telephone conversation with Fischer's representatives in the United States. A Moscow dispatch indicated Russian concern over developments. A Tass writer claimed Fischer was disrespectful to the organizers and was placing the value of money over that of the sport of chess. Until the new demand for a share of the gate, Fischer and Spassky had agreed to compete for the biggest prize in chess history: a division of with five-eighths going to the winner, and an even split of 60 per cent of the film and TV rights sold to a promoter.

Because his religious sect, the Chiurch of God, recognizes Saturday as the Sabbath, Fischer won't travel between sundown Friday and sundown Saturday. It appeared the only time left for him to leave New York and still make the Sunday afternoon deadline, was a flight late tomorrow night getting him into Reykjavik only hours before the first game at 5 p.m. noon Chicago time. Daley Delegation Dumped "If you vote to seat this delegation, you will be telling us you don't care, you don't give a damn," he said. In an aroused voice, arms flailing with emotion, Matthew Troy, Irish city council member from New York, told his fellow credential committee members: "All they did was put the old line political hacks into the convention so they would do what he IDaley told them to do."

But there were also the poli tical pros, the people who are afraid McGovern can't win in ed Wayne Whalan, attorney for the Singer group, how many of the delegates he was proposing sought election in the Illinois primary, "Of the 59, approximately 33 filed," Whalan said. "How many are committed to Sen.

McGovern?" asked Robert Begam of Arizona. "All but 18," Whelan said. He said 41 in of the substitutes were committed to McGovern. The rest, he said, were uncommitted. Mike Almond of North Carolina, who offered a compromise calling for the selection of new delegates also decried the delegation offered by the Singer group.

"We should not substitute one boss-controled delegation for another," he said. "Illinois is ready for self-government. Illinois is safe for democracy. There is no justice in this challenge. There is only one choice between two evils.

I will not make that choice." November, the people used to be the first time since 1936 that Daley has not led the large Illinois delegation to the convention. Casualties along with Daley included six congressmen; Rep. Roman Pucinski, a candidate for the Senate; and two of Daley's sons, John and Michael "The committee usurped the right of the people to vote for themselves," Daley's son Michael said. Debate of the Chicago dele-gale challenge began at 5:12 p. Washington time, and continued for three hours.

Five of the six Illinois representatives on the Credentials Committee had voted to deny seats to 151 McGovern delegates in California yesterday.

DtStat. political compromise who plead against a compromise "gets you nowhere but 19 million in debt." He referred to Democratic Party debts carried over from the 1968 Presidential campaign. The Singer-Jackson challengers contend Daley and the regular party bosses engineered the election of a slate of delegates that failed to meet the party's reform guidelines.

These specify that women and blacks and other minorities be represented in proportion to their numbers in the local populace. The challengers put up their own slate reflecting those numbers. The 24 additional delegates to be added downstate would. Include at least 22 women, all of whom would have only one-half a vote in the convention. The compromise also reduces the votes of the regularly elected delegates, in most instances, to one-half a vote.

The old mark of 1,004 feet wal set in 1962 by two Swiss divers, one of whom died in the ascent to the surface. FIT-ALL Continued from first tfige mayor had expressed confidence that the committee would seat him and the other 53 uncommitted delegates elected with organization support in Hie March 21 primary. So confident was the mayor of victory that when asked if he would fight for his seat at the convention he said, "I don't think we will have to face that." And when asked if he thought the convention might rule against him, Daley said, "You know they wouldn't do that to me." Political observers doubted that they would do it to the mayor, but had little doubt the convention would do it to some of the 58 delegates he controls.

One of those is the mayor's City Council floor leader, Aid. Thomas E. Keane 31st. Keane said yesterday he did not intend to go to Miami Beach to cast a half-vote at the convention. One of the compromises heard before the Credentials Committee made its decision was that it might give the Daley-backed delegates half a vote and name additional delegates who also would cast half a vote.

Michael J. Bakalis, state superintendent of public instruction and a delegate to the convention, yesterday announced his support for McGovern. Bakalis said he had written to Sen. George McGovern S.D. and urged him to select Sen.

Adlai Stevenson I III for Vice President. However, Bakalis' influence in the national party structure is regarded as limited. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, head of Operation PUSH and one of the leaders in the fight to deny delegate status to Daley forces, said last night that he "finds no solace in the fact that Daley has been unseated." He also said he doubts the challenge group headed by Aid. William Singer 43d would be seated at the convention itself.

"This is not an automatic thing, altho they may recom- mend it seating on the convention floor," the Rev. Mr. Jackson said. "The mayor has to understand that this is a new day," the Rev. Mr.

Jackson said. "He has to respect people he did not respect before, because it is true that the Democratic Party is a party of the people. "It is necessary for Chicago-ans to come together in Chicago. It is incumbent on Daley to request a meeting of the leadership of the challengers and his leadership." At such a meeting, the Rev. Mr.

Jackson said, Daley and the challengers could put together a slate of delegates "to fit the McGovern committee rules." He added that such a meeting is not possible unless Daley abandons his "either or" ultimatum. kyfcL) 99 tw tfsjf tsV WCTyf frie OfWrj wsj Ml 9ttt 222-1234 'Sir ft toct CM SCO?
