DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, MAYi, 5- Ed 5 Mmmvemitkml Bern wish Iff illliKftM By HARRISON RAINIE Washington (News Bureau) Radiating New York City chauvinism, Mayor Koch and his traveling cast of city boosters talked and sang- their way through a sales pitch yesterday for the 1980 Democratic Convention to be held in the Big Apple. Bearing apple-shaped tubs of apples, enough Big Apple pins to stab every lapel in the room and promises of a good time for all, Koch and company urged a site selection committee of the Democratic Party to replay its 1976 convention in Madison Square Garden. And, deficit or no deficit, the city will kick in $6 million to $8 million for the fun. The committee, which also heard from Detroit, Dallas and Philadelphia, today will select two finalists. Harrison J.

Goldin said he would "spare no expense" for the delegates and he could make such a pledge because "I sign the checks." Police Commissioner Robert McGuire and Manhattan South Commander Dan Fortney guaranteed security while Central Labor Council Chairman Harry Van Arsdale promised labor peace. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, the stars of "The Gin Game," flanked Shubert Organiz-aion chairman Gerald Schoenfeld as he extolled Broadway's virtues. The Metropolitan Transportation "Administration chairman, Harold Fisher, pledged shuttle buses for the delegates and Madison Square Garden President Mike Burke offered a slide presentation about the Garden. It was the accommodations at the Garden that prompted the most intense questioning by the selection committee. Some complained that floor space had been too cramped at the last convention.

and it appeared that only the City of Brotherly Love was out of the running. A final selection will be made oa June 28. The 25 members of the selection panel had hardly settled into their chairs when a dozen young men and women charged up to the microphones and launched into "I Love New York" and a little ditty called "New York Summer." They were members of the Radio City Music Hall "New Yorkers" and what their early morning vocal cords lacked in resonance they made up for in high spirits. He'd close the deal Not to be outdone by youthful enthusiasm, Koch crowed: "I'm here to close the deal. Whatever is required to make you comfortable we will do Not only will we reelect the President but we'll give you a good time." Then, in their own version of a chorus line, other city luminaries made their, pitch.
