McGovern 's First Task Implicit in Missing Gesture MIAMI BEACH-(UPI)-No better evidence exists of George S. McGovern's great difficulty in uniting the splintered Democratic party than the penciled figures on the roll call which won him the nomination. The totals are fine. They gave McGovern the presidential nomination with 1,864 votes, an edge over his nearest challenger, Henry M. Jackson, almost large enough to win a second time.

But the impressive figures fail to hide the troubles that lie ahead for the prairie Populist from South Dakota. ALTHOUGH HE FINISHED far ahead and literally spread-eagled the field, he was incapable of convincing the backers of 11 other candidates that he should be the party's nominee, even though he had clinched the prize 48 hours earlier. True, the final roll call included some throw-away votes, sentimental gestures that might not have been made had the contest been close. There were 10 votes for Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy, who stated, time and time again, he would not run; two votes from memory lane for Eugene J. McCarthy; five diehards for Rep. Wayne Hayes of Ohio; and a mystery vote for Sen. Walter F. Mondale of Minnesota.

BUT THE 485 VOTES for Jackson, the 377 votes for George C. Wallace, and 69 votes tor Terry Sanford were serious. So were the 35 votes for Hubert H. Humphrey and the 20 votes for Edmund S. Muskie, although both had let their delegates go.

That bloc of votes was anti-McGovem. They were delegates who knew that their votes would be wasted but, for one reason or another, could not bring themselves to vote for McGovern. After McGovern had clinched the nomination, thanks to placed in nomination, would seek to heal the wounds and plead for unity. IN A WHITE SKIRT and a flowered blouse, she stood before those cheering delegates and told them that Democrats have always fought among themselves and reminded them that "in unity there is strength." And she promised "I pledge to criss-cross the country once again to unseat President Richard Milhous Nixon." But she never mentioned McGovern, who had just won the nomination, and she never urged her delegates to go on record as having voted for the party's nominee. Mrs.

Chisholm's omission followed Humphrey's withdrawal statement Tuesday when he, also, could not force himself to mention McGovern's name; Jackson's statement See ROLL CALL, Page 6. the Illinois delegation, there was some speculation that an effort would be made to make the victory unanimous and, at least on the surface, let the 36th quadrennial Democratic National convention go on record for unity. Nothing of the kind happened. The gesture was never made. THERE WERE SOME vote changes one here, two there, and seven in Minnesota who wanted to express their gratitude to Humphrey on the initial roll call.

But when the chairman of the Illinois delegation, Clyde Choate, tried to put his group on the record for McGovern, he couldn't do it. Instead, Illinois spreads its favors among seven candidates and Choate is not a reformer, but a Daley man. Then Shirley Chisholm, who had won 101 votes, came to the podium and, again, there was speculation that she, the most prominent black and the most prominent woman ever FINAL DAYTON DAILY NEWS THE WEATHER Warm, humid, chance of thundershowers tonight, Friday; low tonight upper 60s, high Friday mid-80s.

Vice presidential ambitions Agreement Announced By Blacks FRANK KING Delegation Chairman 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 rales, 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 (A -C I 0) 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 Rv PAITI DM AVf swelled in a dozen hearts while McGovern pondered his choice. Whispers and rumors and speculation and clandestine campaigning were evident wherever Democrats gathered. 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: 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 delegation, lost his composure several times during the hot afternoon.

In near hysterical rantings and ravings, he charged William A. Lavelle, Democratic state party chairman, with a deliberate effort "to thwart the effectiveness of the Ohio delegation." Dumbfounded, Lavelle walked away a i his head. He ul only say, "That just isn't true." 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 delegation'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 arrived at the hall more than two hours after Wednesday night's session had opened.

George McGovern and black leaders who supported him have worked out an agreement that provides money for voter registration in black areas, 10 per cent of federal job patronage 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 E. Fauntroy, non-voting member 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 McGovern. 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 10 per cent of the patronage jobs in the states if McGovern became president. Regarding voter registration, Fauntroy said that there 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.

The announcement by federal mediator Reynold F. Hag-ist ended the fears that the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's union would launch a strike that could be a tough blow to Hawaii's vulnerable economy. 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.

Page 13 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, 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. "1 have no to make on that. I am not pan 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.
