16 Adlai E. Stevenson won renomination for president by acclamation from the Democratic national convention tonight. Backers of Gov. Averell Harri-man of New York moved to make Stevenson's selection unanimous after the 1952 nominee had swept to an overwhelming majority of votes on the first ballot. A first roll call gave Stevenson 905 votes in a convention where only 686'i votes were required for victory.
