PRICE TEN CENTS. Incredible McGovern Campaign Ends With Demo Presidential Nomination Illinois Vote Total S.D. Senator Over By DAVID S. BRODER MIAMI BEACH (WP) The Democratic party Wednesday night placed its leadership and election hopes in the hands of George S. McGovern, ending a four-year journey for the man and the party back from the wreckage of their mutual hopes at the last convention in Chicago.

The winners and losers of 1968 reversed places Wednesday night, as the 49-year-old South Dakota senator was put before the country as "the man for America's future. McGovern won the nomination on the first ballot, and when the count went over the 1,509 needed for victory, the delegates filled convention hall with cheers and applause. Vote Total at 1728.35 The roll call ended with the McGovern vote at 1,728.35. Jackson had 525. Wallace had 381.7.

Rep. Shirley Chisholm had 147.5. These were the figures before delegations began the traditional switches of votes after the outcome was assured. Even before the nominating roll call was complete, the unity moves began. Humphrey telephoned McGovern, an old friend and protege before they became political rivals, within minutes after the nomination was settled.

Rep. Chisholm told the convention she would work across the nation for the McGovern ticket. Confronts Demonstrators Earlier McGovern took an hour away from working on his acceptance speech and pondering the choice of a running mate to confront more than 100 demonstrators in the lobby of his convention hotel. Angry over what they took to be a shift away from his past pledge to remove all American troops from Southeast Asia within 90 days of becoming president, they brought the first threat of trouble to the party whose 1968 convention was all hut overwhelmed by violence. Saying he wanted to prevent another McGovern assured the students I am not shifting my position on any of the fundamental issues, and saw them leave the hotel.

Meantime, at Convention Hall, the weary Democrats moved through the ritual of giving McGovern the nomina- THURSDAY whom the pilot said carried guns and a package they claimed was a bomb, took over the plane and demanded $600,000 in U.S. currency and $20,000 in Mexican pesos and parachutes. They ordered the plane back to Philadelphia where it landed just before 9 p.m. EDT. About 90 minutes later, pilot Elliott Adams jumped out of the cockpit and was picked up on the, runway by police.

A doctor who treated him quoted Adams as saying he jumped because he only had enough Union Ousts Foe of Chavez MODESTO, Calif. (AP) The head of the cannery workers union here has been ousted for allegedly trying to block efforts by Cesar Chavez to organize farm workers, Teamsters officials said Wednesday. Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Murray Miller also said that Ted Gonsalves, secretary-treasurer of the Cannery Workers Union Local 748, would be barred from membership in the union for at least five years. The Cannery Workers Union is an affiliate of the Teamsters. Gonsalves was removed and the union put into trusteeship earlier this month after local members charged him with unauthorized expenditures allegedly used to block Chavez organizing efforts in Salinas.

Californians Cheer McGoverns Actress Shirley McLain, right, joined cheer offered ELEANOR McGOVERN A Happy Night lion that has been guaranteed him since the early hours of Tuesday morning, when his superbly led forces most of them first-time delegates who came here under reforms McGovern himself instituted after the Chicago convention defeated the. anti-McGovern coalition on the crucial credentials vote. The leaders of that coalition Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie, w'ho were the nominees of the party for president and vice president four years ago ended their 1972 candidacies Tuesday.

Wednesday, Wilbur Mills and Eugene J. McCarthy also pulled out of the race. That left only four candidates to go in nomination against McGovern, the man who ran a brief, symbolic protest campaign for the nomination in 1968 and came up one of many losers in the ruins of the Chicago convention. They were: George C. Wallace, the crippled Alabama governor whose threat to run as a third-party candidate was renewed Wednesday bv his campaign manager, Charles Snider.

Terry Sanford, the Duke University president who was one of those hoping to benefit from the convention deadlock which never developed. Shirley Chisholm, the black representative from Brooklyn who campaigned as a symbol of the black. Spanish-speaking and groups more strongly represented in this convention than any before. And Sen. Henry M.

Jack- Hijackers Take Over Jets in Texas And on East Coast SPOKANE, WASH. Puts the Top son of Washington, the last and most outspoken representative of the labor-backed old guard Democrats who are pro-p i that McGovern's nomination jeopardizes the Democrats' chances to remain the majority party in Congress and the country. Slinws He's Winner Replying to them, Sen Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut said in the nominating speech for McGovern that "George McGovern has shown he is a winner." Ribicoff said the thousands and thousands of McGovern volunteers represent the finest political organization in the history of American politics This organization is available not only for George McGovern but for every Democratic candidate in this land Obviously trying to reassure the worried Democrats who think McGovern may not be able to overcome President Nixon's current 15-point lead in the polls, Ribicoff reminded them that McGoverns judgement has proved sounder than that of his rivals this year. Instead of reading the polls, George McGovern was reading the mood of this country, Ribicoff said, And he W'as reading it right.

Ribicoff did not dwell on the point, but all the Democrats listening knew that in the last six months of internal combat in primaries and caucuses and conventions, conducted under the most open rules of political warfare in American history. McGovern had shown himself the toughest man in the field. Iamg List The list of those who began the contest for the White House was a long one. In addition to the eight already mentioned Humphrey, Muskie, Mills, McCarthy, Wallace, Sanford, Chisholm and Jackson there were Birch Bayh, Fred Harris, John Lindsay, Sam Yorty, Vance Hartke and Ned Coll, the man with the rubber rat in New Hampshire. All of them once stood in McGovern's way, but now, as the Republican slogans used to sav, Nixon's the one." The choice of Ribicoff, the man who nominated him before, for the nominating speech Wednesday night show-ed McGoverns memories of Chicago remained sharp and clear.

Four years ago, with police battling demonstrators on the streets, Rihcoff looked down from the podium of the fear-andtension-filled international amphitheater at i a Mayor Richard J. Daley and said there would be no such "gestapo tactics if George McGovern were president. In return, Ribicoff caught a blast of obscenities from the mayor, shared by a worldwide television audience, and McGovern got a mere handful of votes. Daley Not Around Wednesday night, however, Ribicoff nominated the winner, and Daley was banished from the hall, deprived of his seat at the Illinois microphone bv a Credentials Challenge brought under McGoverns reforms w'lth consequences for McGovern's candidacy that no one can measure. In an interview Wednesday night, McGovern said his confrontation with the deonstra-tors at his hotel was a Sunday afternoon excursion'' compared to the tragedies of Chicago four years ago.

"This convention is open, he said. A lot of the people who were outside four years ago, shouting to he heard, are on the inside doing the nominating this time.
