McGovern mack Court Decision Boosts Humphrey, AAuskie Prospects fair play." Decision Overshadows All The Supreme Court's decision in Washington far overshadowed the first flurry of real activity in Miami Beach, which included the arrival Friday of most of the candidates. Among them were George C. Wallace. Terry Wilbur Mills and Muskie and Humphrey. McGovern was due today to complete the field.

Wallace's arrival was by far the mosl dramatic. Shot bv a Wallace Appearance MIAMI' BEACH UPI) George S. McGovern confronted his greatest challenge today, a coalition of all other candidates who joined behind a Supreme Court decision that could stop him agonizingly short of the Democratic presidential nomination. In a sharp setback lor McGovern almost on the eve of the convention, the Supreme Court Friday night blocked lower court rulings which gave McGovern all California's 271 delegate votes and barred the seating Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.

The effect of the Supreme Court's action, by a 6-3 vote after hours of closed discussion, was to strip McGovern of at least 151 and possibly 153 California votes. At the same time it gave him 41 of Daley's 59 votes. The net reduction of approximately 110 votes reduced. McGovern's total, by his own count, to 1.431. and by a UPI tabulation to 1.285 of the 1.509 needed lor nomination.

It also boosted the prospects of Hubert II. Humphrey and Kdmund S. Muskie. gave new hope to friftge candidates and assured the IX'mocrats of a bitter, divisive public bloodletting. While delegates arrived by the officials prepared for any eventuality.

Humphrey. Muskie and Henry M. immediately issued statements lauding the Supreme Court's decision to stay out of convention polities.

National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien said the convention would abide by the ruling. McGovern. who has threatened to bolt the party if he loses the nomination because he is denied the California votes, was in Washington but his office issued a statement that said "it is now (he responsibility of the delegates protect the rule of law' and the nation's time-honored sense of would-be assassin in a laurel. shopping center in May.

and paralyzed from the down. Wallace flew to Miami in an Air Force ambulance plane provided by President Nixon.

Snider, indicated that the price of the Alabama governor's support for the ultimate candidate might be a major revision of the platform, lie also pale from his hospitalization. planned no activities today except a brief appearance as host at a party lor all convention delegates.

That itself presented a problem. In Alabama Wallace refuses to attend public affairs where liquor is served. But. said Charles Snider, his campaign manager. "We will have to serve booze or nobody will come."
