By DAVID COLTON Staff Writer NEW YORK Maybe it was just a case of pennant fever, but Yankee broadcaster Phil Rizzuto had at least one fan in the 282-mem-ber New York delegation at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night. The Scooter's name was just one of 13 which might have been offered for the vice presidential nomination if anybody had bothered to ask various New York delegates. But the podium never did, having declared Vice President Walter Mondale the unanimous nominee before the New York delegation, which had passed on the initial roll call, was officially tallied.

However, a delegation poll found Mondale had received 217 of the 282 New York votes. Mondale drew the votes of 117 of the 118 Carter delegates, and 100 more from Kennedy's 164 delegates. Former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm received 40 votes even though she had disavowed the use of her name as a protest from the Kennedy delegation. Rizzuto got one vote from an unknown delegate who apparently considered the former Yankee shortstop to be vice presidential timber. Among others who received votes for vice president from the New York delegation were Citizens Party Presidential candidate Barry Commoner (1), Rep.

Elizabeth Holtzman (2), Arizona Rep. Morris Udall (2), Rep. Theodore Weiss (1), anti-draft registration candidate Pat Simon (3), gay activist Melvin Boozer (4) and Michael Harrington (1). Three other names, all delegates, received one vote each: Ann Scott, Assemblyman Frank Barbara and David Weinstein. "They were still protesting the nomination of Jimmy Carter," explained Senate Minority Leader Manfred Ohrenstein, the head of the Kennedy delegation.

Staff PMoto Robert Deutsch By DON CAMPBELL Gannett News Service NEW YORK President Carter leaves New York in victory today, but with unsettling memories of having been upstaged by Edward Kennedy at every turn of the Democratic National Convention. Carter formally accepted his party's nomination for a second term last night, promising a "campaign that talks sense." He deliv-ered a slashing attack on Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan as one who would drive America "down the wrong road" to "an alarming, even perilous, destiny." But while Carter was accepting his party's standard, Kennedy, for the fourth time in as many days, was stealing the show. After blasting Reagan in his acceptance speech, Carter had to stand on the podium of Madison Square Garden for 10 minutes while Kennedy supporters shouted "We want Ted, we want Ted." Kennedy, who waited until the end of Carter's speech to drive to the convention hall from his hotel, made a brief appearance and shook hands all around, started to leave' and then returned for a short encore. The Massachusetts senator appeared somber and stiffly formal, despite his announcement 24 hours earlier that he would actively support and work for Carter's reelection. By the time he reached the hall, Carter campaign chairman Robert Strauss had taken over as stage manager and packed the podium with assorted governors, mayors, senators and Cabinet officers.

But every delegate in the hall, not to mention the president himself, was obviously waiting for Kennedy's appearance and the facade if not the reality of party unity. Carter had offered a peace pipe to Kennedy at the outset of his acceptance speech. "Ted," Carter said, "you're a tough competitor and superb campaigner I can attest to I reach out tonight to you and to those who supported you in your valiant and passionate campaign." Earlier in the evening, the convention routinely renominated Vice President Walter Mondale by acclamation after his name was placed in nomination by United Auto Workers Union President Douglas Frazer. Carter was given a rousing reception when he entered the hall. His aides had made sure of that by packing the floor and aisles with hundreds of extra supporters.

As he began his speech, Carter was interrupted by a string of firecrackers set off by a woman who was immediately hustled away. Also interrupting the hoopla was a walkout by more than 100 members of the machinists union protesting Carter's lack of support for a Kennedy-sponsored platform plank calling for a $12 billion federal jobs program. Outside Madison Square Garden, several members of the Communist Workers Party injured several policemen in a brief clash. In his speech, Carter portrayed (Please turn to Former candidates Jerry Brown and Edward Kennedy join President Carter on po "urn in show of Democratic unity. nflation takes sharp jump Wholesale hikes biggest in 6 years shot up 9 percent in July, pushing the prices for all raw products at the wholesale level up 6.3 percent, the department said.

Grain prices shot up 13.7 percent in July, after falling in four of the first six months of 1980. Sharply higher corn prices resulting from the drought were primarily responsible for this turnaround. Prices for live poultry and hogs increased more than 25 percent. But, July's inflation pace was far from exclusively food-related, Labor Department figures show. Prices for finished goods other than food and for capital equipment which is used to produce other products both rose more than in the previous 2 months 1.3 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.

Prices rose more than in June for passenger cars, apparel, non-alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, household furniture and drugs, the Labor Department said. At the capital equipment level, prices rose faster in July than in June for trucks, constuction machinery, transformers, and oilfield equipment. At the crude level, prices for materials other WASHINGTON (AP) Inflation at the wholesale level raced ahead 1.7 percent in July the biggest jump in nearly six years mainly as a result of a sharp, drought-influenced spurt in food prices, the government said today. The huge increase dramatically halted months of an easing inflation trend. In June, wholesale, or producer, prices rose 0.8 percent.

Not since November 1974 have producer prices risen so fast, the Labor Department said. July's boost outpaced even the dizzying levels set earlier this year when inflation was so severe that credit controls were imposed. If July's seasonally adjusted rate continues for an entire year, inflation at the wholesale level would exceed 22 percent annually, far more than the 10 percent yearly pace set in June. However, this spurt was called "temporary" by Allen Sinai, vice president of Data Resources the Lexington, economic forecasting firm. "It should not set off a long-term increase in inflation." "This is a shock due primarily to food.

The overall backdrop for inflation, because consumer demand is down so, due to the recession, is favorable," he said. The Labor Department reported that food was the major culprit at all three levels of the Producer Price Index: finished goods, intermediate items and raw products. In sharp contrast, gasoline prices fell 1.2 percent in July, while home heating fuel remained the same. "Up even through June, food war a u-y strong moderating influence on prices, while energy had been the major thrust for pumping up inilation," said John Early, a Labor Department economist. "Now, it's getting to a place where they are reversing roles." The price of finished food products ready for sale to consumers rose 3.8 percent last month, far more than the 0.7 percent increase in June, the department said.

Processed poultry prices shot up 23.5 percent, as millions of chickens were killed by the scorching heat that has hit the nation's farm belt. Prices for beef, meanwhile, jumped 7.4 per-1 cent, compared with 3.9 percent the month before, while pork prices increased 13.7 percent, far more than the 0.8 percent boost in June, the department said. Compared with food, all other finished goods at the wholesale level rose 1.1 percent in July. The sharp acceleration in food was particularly evident at the intermediate and crude stages (a signal that the worst may yet to come as these jumps are passed on through processing and sale to consumers in coming months, say private economists.
