(AP) Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy will still have "first refusal" on the vice presidential nomination if Sen. George McGovern captures the Democratic presidential nod, sources close to the South Dakota senator said today. Despite Kennedy's repeated statements he won't be available, the offer will probably be made because polls show he would strengthen a McGovernled ticket, the sources said. The sources discounted the value of polls ordered by McGovern on other possible running mates, declaring it is -impossible to measure the ue of possible candidates who are not so well known, such as Govs. Reubin Askew of Florida and Dale Bumpers of Arkansas.

Both have been mentioned by McGovern as leading possibilities. Activity in this steaming Democratic National Convention city, which has been limited this week to advance preparations by the candidates and a half-dozen protest groups, picks up today as the parley heads for an opening Monday. Most of the major presidential candidates except McGovern fly here to start wooing arriving delegates in their bid to overtake the frontrunning South Dakota senator. Sens. Hubert H.

Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie and Henry M. Jackson; Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace; and Rep.

Wilbur D. Mills all scheduled afternoon arrivals. McGovern is due Saturday afternoon.

Republican an Women Plan Pic Picnic-Rally We Wednesday Several candidates for offices and state legislature will be guests of the Carroll County Republican Women's Club a at a campaign picnic-rally Wednesday, July 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the east shelter house at Swan Lake State Park.

Candidates expected to attend include: Sen. Arthur A. Neu, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, from Carroll; Neil Stadlman, Sac City and Robert Launsberry, Lake City, candidates for Secretary of Agriculture; and representing Gov. Robert D. Ray, his aide, Bill Smith and family of Des Moines.

Also invited are William Harbor of Henderson, candidate for Lieu. tenant Governor; Maurice Barringer, candidate for State led by Chicago Mayor Richard I J. Daley remained in a legal limbo. Chief Justice Warren E. Bur.

ger extended indefinitely Thursday a delaying order in the case so he could consult with his eight Supreme Court colleagues on whether to call a special session to consider appeals in the two cases. The two cases are crucial, especially the California one, in McGovern's quest for victory on the first ballot. Including the 151 California votes, The Associated Press count shows McGovern with 1,454.65 first ballot votes just 54.35 short of the 1,509 needed for the nomination. Failure to retain the 151 votes, either through court rulings or convention action, would leave McGovern more than 200 votes away from the nomination, a far more difficult hurdle to overcome. The AP count shows Humphrey a distant second with 398.55: Wallace with 367; Muskie with 219.55; and 425.65 uncommitted.

The rest are scattered. McGovern crossed verbal swords with Secretary of fense Melvin R. Laird over the senator's proposals to cut U.S. defense spending sharply. Laird issued an analysis of McGovern's proposal for a $32 billion reduction by 1975 and called it "tantamount to a white flag of surrender." McGovern rejected that characterization and said, "My proposed military budget will make certain that the United States is the strongest nation in the world." In Miami Beach, meanwhile, heads of three largely black organizations threatened to crash the convention sessions unless 750 delegate seats are provided for poor people.

The threats were made by the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; George A. Wiley, executive director of the National Welfare Rights Organization; and Jesse Gray, director of the National Tenants Organization. Richard J. Murphy, the convention manager, said after meeting with the three Thursday he was unable to comply with their request "because the rules don't permit it." In other developments: -A Terry Sanford for President Citizens Committee to boost the candidacy of the former North Carolina governor was formed by a group headed by Atty.

Gen. Andrew Miller of Virginia. -Former Gov. Endicott Peabody of Massachusetts said he has a one in four chance of winning the vice presidential nomination next week. In Washington, Sen.

The Democrats in their fought convention named 19 women and 27 men as national convention delegates.

Whigs Take Six Years To Select Candidate BALTIMORE (AP) The Whigs have nominated Millard Fillmore as their 1972 presidential candidate. No. 2 spot on the ticket was won by Robert D.

Lee Moxley, who happened to be passing by. "The Constitution doesn't say the candidate has to be alive," Jeffrey Amdur said after 15 delegates acclaimed Fillmore the standardbearer of the Resurrected Whig Party at an outdoor convention in a park Thursday night. The Resurrected Whigs are of Students' Committee for the Glorification of Millard Fillmore, a Whig who served in the White House from 1850 to 1853 after the death of President Zachary Taylor. Amdur, cochairman of the commitlee, says the selection of Fillmore was a long-overdue restoration to parly favor for the man who was dumped by the Whigs in 1852. Party leaders say they know little about Moxley, 70, the Baltimore man chosen for the No.

2 spot. "He happened to be passing by and we asked him if he wanted to be vice president," said Amdur. Moxley won out on the first ballot over P.T. Barnum, Chester A. Arthur, W.C.
