(AP) Eight dissident Wisconsin Democrats have filed a complaint in an effort to bar 52 Wisconsin delegates pledged to Sen. Eugene McCarthy from voting at the Democratic national convention.

The complaint, filed with the Democratic national committee, contends that McCarthy delegates do not constitute a "bona fide" delegation because they have stated they might not support Vice President Hubert Humphrey if he wins the nomination. Miss Elizabeth Hawkes, a Washburn attorney and leader of the drive to challenge the McCarthy delegates, said today the complaint was filed John Bailey, Democratic national chairman. The controversy is an outgrowth of McCarthy's veto earlier this year of slates of party regulars selected at district caucuses. Under state law, McCarthy was permitted to select delegates from congressional tricts he carried against dent Johnson in the state's April 2 presidential primary. McCarthy won eight of the state's 10 congressional districts.

President Lyndon B. Johnson, who bowed out as a candidate two days before the race, won two districts and eight delegate votes. Miss Hawkes and the seven other dissident Democrats were replaced as delegates by McCarthy in the state's 10th district. Town Exits During URBANA, Ohio (AP).
