assembly of disarrayed Democrats But Muskie was undecided whether to use those powers to coronate McGovern or to keep alive his own hopes of becoming a compromise choice Aides promised a quick derision after Muskie's scheduled meeting" this morning with his estimated 200-plus delegates In the same flat dry prairie voice with which he announced his candidacy 18 months when he was unknown to most Americans McGovern expressed boundless confidence of reaching his goal He reflected none of the tensions swirling around Fsm in this steamy resort strip trapped in its own traffic He claimed enough support in tonight's voting to reverse the Credentials Committee vote which took from him 151 of the 271 delgates won June 6 in California's winncr-take-all primary He also sought an Illinois

beat a liberal to win his party's gubernatorial nomination was thought to be leaning toward Humphrey "I came here uncommitted" he said I'm still McGovern made a pitch arguing that taking California delegates away from him after all candidates had agreed to the winner-take-all rules would be unjust Ohio Gov John Gilligan a red-haired liberal breakfasted Sunday with Muskie whan he had supported originally and urged him to give support to McGovern in the California issue Later he dangled the vice presidential nomination before Muskie as a lure but Muskie said he very interested The Humphrey cainp said a convention majority of 1509 votes should be necessary to settle all disputes They vowed to fight O'Brien's ruling in the South Carolina challenge the first and crucial vote which could cast the decisive pattern for the entire convention Adding to McGovern's optimism was latent support from delegates who would vote for him on a second or third ballot but were bound by state law a state convention to vote for others on earlier ballots Such committments did not bind them on procedural issues such as the California credentials fight But the Humphrey camp said even a California win would not ensure McGovern the nomination They said lie lacked the 1509 votes for a first-ballot triumph and insisted his support would credo on the second and subsequent ballots with Humphrey gaining strength as McGovern waned Obstacles still faced McGovern One of them was ap attempt by blacks to unite all 458 black delegates as a bloc perhaps supporting Kcp Shirley of New York on the
