Delegates Await Word On McGovern's Choice MIAMI BEACH-(UPI) Arming for November, George S. McGovern set about today choosing a running-mate acceptable to both the coalition of discontent which nominated him for the presidency and the angry old pros who think he can't win it. Vice presidential ambitions swelled in a dozen hearts while McGovern pondered his choice. Whispers and rumors and speculation and clandestine campaigning were evident wherever Democrats gathered. FRANK KING Delegation Chairman Later, King charged that Lavelle had stolen some of his admission passes to the convention hall.

Lavelle denied that, too. "I WAS ROBBED today," King screeched to a caucus of Humphrey delegates. "I am goddam sick and tired of it. I'm not going to stand for it any longer." The outburst might have been interpreted as the latest chapter in King's long-time feud with Gov. John J.

Gilligan. Lavelle is a Gilligan appointee. It might have been so interpreted, except all that Lavelle had done to set off the tirade was to ask King for the admission passes issued to Ohio's seven convention pages. King refused to give Lavelle the passes. He also refused to give passes to the 61 Ohio delegates pledged to McGovern for President.

McALISTER CONTACTED Lawrence F. O'Brien, chairman of the Democratic National committee, and complained that King would not release the credentials issued to McGovern delegates. With-out credentials, a delegate cannot get into the convention hall to vote. O'Brien dispatched a ser-geant-at-arms to the Ohio gation's Key Biscayne headquarters to demand that King release the credentials. Before he' arrived, however, King gave in and handed the credentials to McAlister.

The mixup led to another in the series of almost comic foulups that has made the Ohio delegation the laughing stock of the convention. THE DELEGATION finally By RICHARD BRAGAW Daily News Staff Writer MIAMI BEACH In an unmasked display of political power broking, Frank W. King subdued the majority members on the Ohio delegation to the Democratic national convention Wednesday. Sidestepping his party's new reform rules, King pushed through the election of his hand-picked candidates a Ohio's two representatives on the Democratic national committee. He then urged the 84 Ohio delegates who backed Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey for President to vote for anybody other than Sen. George S. McGovern. "IT HAS BEEN reported that (AFL-CIO) president (George) Meany would like to see everyone vote for anybody else but McGovern," King told a closed-door caucus of his delegates.

He ordered a secretary to call the roll on presidential preference, forcing each delegate either to challenge the powerful labor leader or indicate preference for someone other than McGovern. The tally: Sen. Henry M. Jackson 33, U.S. Rep.

Shirley Chisolm 19, U.S. Rep. Wayne L. Hays 5, U.S. Rep.

Wilbur Mills 1, and former North Carolina Gov. Terry Sanford 1. Three delegates dared to vote for McGovern, and 22 either ducked out or declined to vote. THE IMPACT of King's maneuver was clear, because about half of the Humphrey delegates had listed McGovern as their second choice in a poll taken before the convention. In the end, only eight Humphrey delegates voted for ve n.

The final Ohio tally was McGovern 77, Jackson 39, Chisolm 23, Hays 4, Humphrey 4, Sanford 3 and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy 2. "We finally won the Ohio primary. We got a majority," declared Robert B.

McAlister, McGovern's Ohio campaign chairman. KING, THE OHIO AFL-CIO president who is chairman of the 153-member Ohio delega- BUT McGOVERN kept to his rented penthouse and kept his own counsel. Some of his associates said he had narrowed the list of possibilities to four. Others insisted 12 to 14 names were still being considered. The one man acceptable to both distrustful Democratic camps Edward M.

Kennedy, surviving heir to a dynasty said a final "no" early this morning in a congratulatory telephone call a few minutes after McGovern won a restless convention's call to leadership. THE NEED for the party unity that most felt McGovern must now cultivate to make the nomination worth having gave support to speculation that he might turn to conservative Rep. Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas as a vice presidential choice, despite his earlier vow to eschew a running-mate whose views were incompatible with his own. The final official first-ballot vote was: Agreement Announced By Blacks By PAUL DELANEY (C) New York Times Service MIAMI BEACH-Sen.

George McGovern and black leaders who supported him have worked out an agreement that 'orovides money for voter registration in black areas, 10 per cent of federal job patron-age within the states and the appointment of black supreme court members in return for the leaders' backing of his candidacy for the presidential nomination. The agreements were worked out in meetings between McGovern and black leaders over the last month. The final details were concluded Tuesday. DISCLOSURE of the agreement was made by the Rev. Walter Fauntroy, non-voting memhjgr of the House of Representatives, and corroborated by several other black leaders attending the Democratic National convention.

The patronage agreement and the funds for voter registration had been goals of Julian Bond, the Georgia State Representative. In an interview last month he said that those were his major aims in supporting McGwern. According to Fauntroy, blacks would be included for the first time in the patronage system in the south. He said that black supporters of the senator would control ia per cent of the patronage Jj in the states if McGovern became president. Regarding voter registiy tion, Fauntroy said that then were 8 million additional eligible voters not registered.

He said that money to register the 6 million would be channeled through supporters of McGovern based on the proportionate number of potential voters in each state.

Hijackers Fly Off With $600,000 PHILADELPHIA-(UPI)-Two armed hijackers commandered a National Airlines jet Wednesday night, received parachutes and a $600,000 ransom in exchange for releasing 112 passengers, then boarded another plane today and took off for an undisclosed destination.

but, with today's trip, has shown up twice in Maimi Beach. Gilligan also said he would have no comment on the way Ohio delegation leader Frank W. King ramrodded through the two national committee elections Wednesday. THE SELECTIONS were made by the Humphrey caucus and the McGovern delegation from Ohio was not invited. "I have no to make on that.

I am not part of the delegation and I'm not sure of all the facts," the governor said. Gilligan said if he had it to do over again he would still support Sen. Edmund S. Mus-kie of Maine, once considered front-runner, but who dropped out of the primaries in May. Justice Not Blind To Evil Eye Being offered second place on the McGovern ticket would not be like being asked to take a ride through the tunnel of love, Gov.

John J. Gilligan said today before flying to the Democratic National convention in Miami Beach. Gilligan said, in a telephone conversation from the Columbus airport, that Sen. George S. McGovern of South Dakota called him about 11 Wednesday night and invited him to a Democratic party unity meeting.

ASKED IF he could accept the No. 2 spot on the ticket if it were offered him, Gilligan said: "That's not the same as being asked to ride through the tunnel of love. There are many other considerations I would have to take into account. My first interest, of course, is in doing the job I was elected to by my fellow Ohioans." GILLIGAN HAS been mentioned in speculation by some as having an outside chance for the nomination. He has discouraged such speculation, arrived at the hall more than two hours after Wednesday night's session had opened.

In Monday and Tuesday sessions, King's bitter disagreement with the McGovern bloc led to long delays in vote counting. Early Wednesday, as the convention was nearing the end of a tiresome series of votes on minority amendments to the platform, King blasted the McGovern staff and called Howard T. Fink, leader of Ohio's McGovern delegation, "unstable." McAlister was 1 incensed by King's perform-ance, but he bent over backward to restrain his anger. "We're going to get the nomination tonight," McAlister told a reporter later. "We're not going to screw around with peripheral stuff." IN A COOL ADDRESS to the 84 Ohio delegates who wanted Humphrey to win, McAlister pleaded with them for understanding.

"We (the McGovern delegates) are entitled to be treated as decent human beings and Democrats," he said. McAlister's plea for peace came after King had ramrod-ded the election of Joseph E. Cole and Carol McClendon, both of Cleveland, as Ohio's representatives on the Democratic National committee. Under current rules, each states convention delegation elects one man and one woman to serve on the committee, the Democratic party's national policy-making body. IRONICALLY, the convention may vote tonight to restructure the committee, voiding King's desperate maneuver.

King called a caucus of Humphrey delegates to settle the election. It was closed to the press, but a few newsmen eavesdropped through a partition. Here's how King did it: Nominations were taken for national committeeman. Four names vwre entered, and Cole See KING, Page 15. In a living room crowded with kinfolk and confidants, McGovern watched his nomination on television under the heat and glare of television lamps recording the moment.

After 18 months, starting from nowhere, the candidate of discontent had won. His eyes shone bright with emotion. He kissed his sisters and his nieces and shook hands with the men, then went back to writing on a yellow pad with a felt-tip pen the acceptance speech he will deliver tonight. BUT hostility remained from the old guard. On the convention floor, the die-hard supporters of Hubert H.

Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie cast their votes for the token candidates or for Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington, a party warhorse, rather than go with the obvious winner. Jackson and Alabama Gov.

George C. Wallace remained unreconciled to the bitter end to a McGovern candidacy on a liberal platform and so did Wallace's antibusing supporters and Jackson's labor supporters.

The woman was released on $2,300 bond. OKLAHOMA CITY -tW-A hijacker commandeered a American Airlines jetliner Wednesday night and collected $550,000 ransom, but surrendered his pistol to a steward-, ess early Thursday after throwing the money out of the airplane over the Oklahoma City area, authorities said.

The Boeing 727 landed a few minutes later and the hijacker was taken off the plane in handcuffs. He apparently offered no resistance. He had released the passengers and gathered the ransom and a parachute before the aircraft took off lor the third time to circle the Oklahoma City area. The FBI declined to release the name of the hijacker. The courier plane they boarded left Philadelphia airport at 5:25 a.m.

with the two hijackers, reportedly armed with a bomb and a shotgun, and five hostage crew members aboard. They had transferred earlier from the 727 hijacked shortly after it left New York. THE PASSENGERS were taKen by police to area hospitals. Four crew members' hands were tied during the transfer. A stewardess' hands were tied above her head.

A red box containing the ransom also were aboard the replacement aircraft. The pilot of the hijacked aircraft leaped from a cockpit window earlier after steering the airliner to within 100 yards of the airport's main terminal. The transfer occurred following a temporary impasse between the FBI and the hijackers ove the procedures to be followed. THE FBI refused to hand over the ransom until the unidentified hijackers released all of the passengers aboard the plane, which had been hijacked Wednesday night on a flight from Miami to New York City. The Boeing 727 stretch jet, national flight 496 with 112 passengers and a crew of six, was hijacked as it made a final approach to New York's John F.

Kennedy airport about 10 p.m. Wednesday. The hijack ordered the plane back to Philadelphia, where It had taken off less than an hour earlier. "Bring a car with parachutes and the money in it to within 50 yards of the plane on the right side and then wait Until we call again," demanded the hijackers in a message radioed to the Philadelphia control tower.
