While the delegates whooped it up on the convention floor and gave McGovern the expected first ballot victory, the South Dakota senator was in his penthouse suite By JACK McDAVITT Sentinel Halt MIAMI BEACH With the results inside the hall a foregone conclusion, the Democratic National Convention spotlight shifted to hotel row Wednesday to George McGovern's search for a way to unify the party, to the talking to aides about ways to pull organized labor back into the party. Firmly convinced he needs both labor and the party pros he alienated on his way to winning the nomination, the South Dakota liberal hopes he can win them back without alienating his a i a ion mainstays the young, the black, the women and the suburban liberals. However, there were signs it may not be possible.

Even as McGovern was working in his suite, an angry band of 100 antiwar demonstrators invaded the lobby of his hotel, waving the Viet Cong flag and denouncing him as a "false hope" for a quick end to the war. For 15 minutes, it appeared there might be a wild melee a battle royal between the demonstrators and the line of helmeted Florida highway patrolmen, armed with (Continued On Page 8-A, Col. 1) Offeree! fiij Four Others cGovern On 1st V) (If i v(t I i-fi-MUimmJ iH1" i'ii i I ymima 7 i k.

GEORGE MqGOVERN Demonstrator confrontation Veep Pickers lew Mills As Best Bet By D. G. LAWRENCE Sentinel Tallahassee. Correspondent MIAMI BEACH The nomination won, Sen. George McGovern worked Wednesday to surmount the next hurdle: A running mate who will be balm to the bloody party wounds.

Pressure was mounting on McGovern to pick a conservative to balance the ticket, give him a fighting chance to capture some of the South and the border states and woo the labor heirarchy and Chicago Mayor Dick Daley. THAT CHOICE: Rep, Wilbur Mills, the Arkansas A campaign aide said there was a remote possibility McGovern would let the delegates help make a choice and submit three or four names to tonight's session and commit himself to the convention's will. "It is only at the talk stage, and I think the senator will back away from it in the end," he said. IF HE CANNOT get Sen. Teddy Kennedy, six governors told him at a breakfast conference, his best bet would be Mills.

The vote totals were: McGovern 1728.35, Jackson 525.00, Wallace 381.70, Chisholm 151.95, and "others" 226.00.

The Illinois delegation put McGovern over the top by giving him 119 of its votes at 11:59 p.m. In action which would have been surprising only if it had not happened, the 49-year-old senator was nominated on the first ballot. McGOVERN OVERRODE mild, if not token, opposition from four opponents, none of whom had figured prominently in an aborted effort to stop his nomination. A 1 th ough exciting with its demonstrations of pretty girls, delegates in wild dress and loud music, the nomination was anticlimactic. WALLACE'S NAME was placed in nomination by Alabama State Sen.

Chanting "We want Wallace, we want Wallace," delegates shouted and clanged cowbells. The vertical Florida delegation sign was raised the highest and swung back and forth during the short-lived demonstration in the north section of the convention hall.

With his fragile hopes for the Democratic nomination gone and his conservative platform proposals rejected by the party convention, the Alabama governor announced through his campaign manager that the possibility of a maverick crusade similar to that he waged in 1968 was growing "stronger and stronger every minute." "A THIRD party possibility is sitting out there in the background now," maintained Charles Snider after huddling with the angry and frustrated Wallace most of the morning. "And it seems to be getting stronger all the time," he said. The ominous threats from the disappointed Wallace camp came only a few hours after a convention dominated by youthful liberals had overwhelmingly defeated an eight-plank minority platform report submitted by Wallace himself Tuesday night. "I'VE NEVER been a quitter and I'm not quitting now," Wallace responded in affirming that, despite the apparent hopelessness of his candidacy, he would allow his name to be placed in nomination. He was indeed nominated later in the day.

But, Snider later said, "this convention was stacked from the start. We came down here and faced a stacked deck of cards. Gov. Wallace has never backed away from a fight and he is not quitting now. But after the convention is over SNIDER SAID the Wallace command post in the Sheraton Four Ambassadors Hotel has been besieged by an average of 350 telephone calls an hour asking Wallace to continue his candidacy with an independent party.

Furthermore, Snider said, there have been stacks of imploring telegrams, promises of support from prominent leaders, and he said, "There's no telling what we've got waiting for us back in (Continued On Page 8-A, Col. 1) Spassky Wins Playoff After Fischer Errs ISoncI To iVoiittitffitoit Humphrey.
