Hall made a last minute, unsuccessful attempt Wednesday night to deliver all of Oklahoma's 39 votes at the Democratic National Convention to U.S. Rep. Carl Albert of McAlcsler. Hall's move failed when supporters of South Dakota Sen. George McGovern, already victorious, splintered four ways.

Gov. Hall and Rep. Albert cast their votes for Washington Sen. Henry Jackson, as did a majority of the Oklahoma dele-gates. The Washington senator received 23.5 of the state's votes.

McGovern received 10.5 votes, which later was dropped to 9.5 when Vicki Miles, a black delegate from Oklahoma City, shifted her vote to New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. State Chairman J. C. Kennedy cast one of the votes for McGovern and fourth district chairman Mike Rainbodt, Cordell, cast one half vole for the South Dakota senator.

They immediately began chanting 'Beat.
