McCarthy Loses Delegates Test in Credentials Committee
In Chicago the Credentials Committee shelved McCarthy’s bid to win convention delegates from Humphrey. The panel also recommended ousting Mississippi’s regular delegation led by Gov. John Bell Williams. With the Democratic National Convention looming, Humphrey leads McCarthy and two late contenders, McGovern and Maddox. McCarthy secured only 20, 13, 11, and 4 votes on Washington, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Minnesota requests, falling short of a minority report threshold. Hearings were set today on Texas and Georgia delegations.
