Yeah, the last one we know about would have been in 1920, What about the Dem. convention in 1968, where the nomination went to Hubert Humphrey, who hadn't run in a single primary?

That would fit the bill, alright.

Humphrey WAS an announced candidate and DID win a number of caucuses. He had the most delegates going into the convention.
However, it was RFK's assassination that really changed everything. RFK had the second most delegates and all of them were unpledged going into the convention.
