Hubert H. Humphrey, his last hope of winning the Democratic presidential nomination gone, stepped aside today and withdrew' from the race. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Sen. George McGovern, staging a dramatic demonstraton of political power, swept to the brink of the Democratic presidential nomination today in a marathon opening session of his national convention ended just before dawn.

display of organizational muscle came when he recaptured 151 disputed California delegates at the peak of a tumultuous session. The South Dakota senator claimed his long, uphill battle was near success and that victory in Wednesday nominating session is our But with victory within reach in the opening session. the McGovern camp failed in an effort to engineer a compromise to seat both Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and a heavily pro-McGovern group of Illinois challengers. The convention then voted to oust the powerful Chicago mayor in a move expected to have far-reaching consequences both throughout the party and in its fall campaign for the White House in the politically crucial state of Illinois.

Party leaders had feared the opening night session would run into the daylight hours. But the showdown votes on California and Illinois were followed by a series of compromises that quickly brought the opening session to a close a few minutes before 5 a.m. EDT. In terms of the party's presidential fight, the.California test was crucial, perhaps decisive. According to an Associated Press count, addition of the 151 California votes brought McGovern within about 25 votes of a first-ballot nomination wuth other uncommitted delegates expected to move his wrav.

It took two votes, both decided by larger than expected margins, to settle the California credentials dispute. First, the McGovern forces overturned by a vote of 1.618.28 to 1.238.22 the Credentials decision which had been engineered by backers of Humphrey, Sen. Edmund S. Muskie and Gov. George C.

Wallace to deny McGovern all the California votes. Then, by an even broader margin of 1.689 52 to 1,162.23, the McGovern forces defeated an attempt by a Florida backer of Wallace to challenge the parliamentary ground rules set by the presiding officer. Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien. In the Chicago case, too.

Then, speeding adjournment of the first of four scheduled sessions, the convention agreed to drop credentials cases affecting delegates from Michigan, Texas, Rhode Island. Washington, Connecticut and Oklahoma. Earlier, it rejected a challenge seeking more women in the South Carolina delegation and the bid of a racially mixed group to supplant the pro-Wallace Alabama group.

Marine helicopters lifted South Vietnamese troops into a combat assault zone north of Quang Tri City today, flying into a heavy barrage of fire behind enemy lines that knocked down at least three of the helicopters, the U.S. Command said.
