Poole found "deliberate, covert and calculated" violations in the Chicago delegation. Of the 59 Daley delegates, 12 were black, eight young and six women. Attorney Wayne W. Whalen, who represented the Chicago challengers, said 38 were committeemen in the Daley organization and the rest were either relatives of organization members or other party officials.

Jerome Torshen, a lawyer for the Daley delegation, said it had been elected under Illinois laws by 900,000 Democratic voters whereas the rival slate was put together in back rooms by a small self-anointed elite group. table and a great disservice to the Democratic party." Although there had been talk In the committee of a compromise on the Illinois challenge, the mood changed abruptly to bitterness following the California vote. The challenge to the Daley delegation was based on the report of a hearing examiner appointed by the Credentials Committee to investigate the dispute. The examiner, Cecil F. Poole, concluded that the Chicago Democratic organization had violated nearly every party guideline for delegate selection.

Those guidelines, drafted by a reform commission launched by McGovern after the 1968 convention, require states to give the proper representation to Tribune Phot YM-YWCA Purchases Wooley Property At West Avenue And King Street. Old Home To Be Demolished To Prepare For Future Expansion BELFAST (AP) Northern Ireland took on an air of siege today as masked and uniformed Protestants threw up hundreds of barricades in at least 10 cities in defiance of British troops. More than 20,000 hooded men joined by some masked women, sealed off Protestant areas and brought normal busy life to a virtual standstill throughout the province. British troops and Roman Catholics made no attempt to break down or crash through the buses, trucks, cars and rubble that sealed off Protestant areas. Sonje violence shattered the few days of peace enjoyed by the province since the Catholic-based Irish Republican Army declared a truce last Monday.

One man was killed and two wounded early today in shooting incidents in Belfast A youth was wounded at Lurgan, 20 miles away. There were other incidents elsewhere but no major outbreak of violence. The body of a man who had been hooded, gagged and shot was also found in midmoming on the fringe of Belfasts Woodvale area, itself surrounded by barricades. It was Northern Ireland's 392nd casualty in three years of communal strife. The Protestant barricades sprang up overnight In protest against Catholic barricaded areas in Londonderry, despite appeals by British authorities to avoid action that might precipitate civil war.

At least seven Protestant areas of Belfast were sealed off by militants of the Ulster Defense Association. Armed with wooded batons, and policed by men wearing special arm bands, the militants checked the credentials of all persons attempting to enter or leave their enclaves. Wooley Home Demolition Set Y' Buys More WASHINGTON (AP) Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, boss of the biggest Democratic organization in the country, has been shorn of his convention seat in a move that left the party teetering on the edge of discord. The conventions Credentials Committee, firmly controlled by supporters of Sen.

George McGovern, voted 71 to 61 Friday night to deny seats to Daley and 58 other uncommitted Illinois delegates. The committee voted instead to seat a rival slate of 41 delegates pledged to McGovern and another 18 leaning toward him. The vote was the second explosive challenge decided by the committee, triggering extreme emotional responses and setting the stage for a discordant convention floor fight. But, after the Daley vote, a leader of the insurgents called for a healing compromise. McGovern also picked up eight convention votes in another successful challenge involving downstate Illinois delegates and so gained back at least 49 of the delegates he lost Thursday when the Credentials Committee outlawed Californias winner-take-all primary, stripping him of more than half its 271 delegates.

All of the committees actions are subject to final approval by the national convention, which opens in Miami Beach July 10, and both the California and Illinois challenges are expected to be refought there. The Daley delegation is also planning a court fight to overturn the committee ruling. In Chicago, Daley did not disclose his immediate plans, but the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a leader of the challenge, said he hoped a compromise could be worked out before the convention. Rather than having a light In Miami, there should be a solution in Chicago, Jackson said.

It Is clear we have the power to cut him off, and be bas the power to cut us off, said Jackson. The question Is how can we survive together."
