Daley Loses Ground After McGovern Split At Convention
In Washington the Daley faction pressed a reform stance as delegates debated credentials on the first ballot. McGovern supporters on the credentials committee reportedly voted to seat the rival delegation amid tensions over California delegates. A plan to use full credentials challenges loomed, with talk of a Supreme Court recourse and a solvency goal for the convention. In Milan a separate report described a church font incident injuring a man, while Humphrey supporters weighed continuing efforts to shape the Democratic lineup before the July 10 meeting.
