TUB PROVINCE, Saturday, July 8, 1973 Court tosses dispute back to Democrats United Press Iiilcuialiiiiwl MIAMI BEACH Gcorgo MuUoveru'g hopes of a first-ballot presidential nomination suffered stuttering blow Friday ninht when the Supreme Court opened (lie way for a bloody Democratic cun- ventiort floor fight over delegate seating. McUovern, informed of the justices' stay of a favorable lower court ruling on the crucial California delegate dispute, appealed to the convention, which opens in three days, to "protect the rule of law and the nation's time-honored sense of fair play." Said McGovern: "We do not change the rules of the game after the game is over." lie was referring to his now-unsuccessful court battle to overturn the parly creden tials committee's decision rejecting California's winner -take all primary, where McGovern won all 271 delegates, and to allocating the ote on a proportional basis. McGovern once again stands to lose lal to 1j3 California voles, and the high court's decision to toss the credentials dispute back into the convention's lap buoyed the flagging hopes of Sou, Hubert Humphrey. Humphrey, who stands to pick up at least 104 votes if the convention upholds its credentials committee on Califor- nia, indicated after the decision that he had a ail 50 chance to in the crucial California floor fight. "I call upon all other candidates to support the open proceedings and to abide by the will of the Democratic convention and to support its eventual nominee," one of Humphrey's key aides said in a veiled reference to McGo-vern's former threat to withhold his support if he loses the California test.

The- nine justices' slay of the appellate court's support of McGovern's claim to all 271 California delegates means lhat the next test and pcr- haps the turning point of the convention itself probably will come at the convention's opening session Monday. Democratic National chairman Lawrence O'Brien, the convention's temporary chairman, said only that the court had rendered its decision, "and the Democratic Party and the Democratic national convention will abide by that decision." The court's position was that it had tu have more time without the pressures of an imminent convention if it was to consider the unprecedented request to intervene in a na tional political party's nominating process. Klvin Stanton, a spokesman for George Wallace, who arrived in Miami on Friday in a wheelchair, said the Alabama governor was pleased. "The convention is where the matter should be decided," he said. This enhances the governor's position at the convention." Sen.

Henry Jackson of Washington declared the decision "should help put to rest some of Hie self-righteous nonsense lhat has been coming out of the McGovern eainp." rrf iff- H'H I A 1 i TIIElrtl'KOVINCE 81 dead in Japan slorms Cnplnins released by I1U Province News Services NOW OPEN Aii lfcOTiI t.J tiiik.KjriJ Hulini iiiiil.ts ailili'Lss from wliedrlinir alter arrival.
