Ribicoff could nominate the 49-year-old South Dakota senator to head the Democratic ticket this November. Speculation turned immediately to possible running mates after the withdrawal of Sens.

(AP) Texas Democrats got ready today to vote for the party's nominee for president with the sentiment still running about 3-to-l against the likely winner, Sen.

George McGovern. A last minute caucus was scheduled just before the crucial vote at the National Democratic Convention tonight, but McGovern leaders held little hope of getting more than the 34 delegates awarded them at the state convention. Alabama Gov. George Wallace held firm control over at least 46 Texas delegates votes. A final effort, involving delegation leader Dolph Briscoe, was being made to sway the estimated 50 votes that Sen.

Hubert Humphrey released Tuesday into the camp of Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash. Terry Sanford, Duke University president and former Northern Caroline governor, was given a chance at several votes. "I have opposed McGovern from the start and I will oppose him until we vote," Briscoe said Tuesday, Shortly afterward he signed a petition to insure that Jackson's name would be placed in nomination. A close friend of Briscoe, Rep.

Jack Brooks, introduced Jackson to a Texas caucus as "our kind of politician." Numerous "Jackson for President" buttons and stickers appeared on Texas delegates at Tuesday night's convention session, particularly on labor union representatives. Carlos Moore of Fort Worth and Durwood Johnson of Houston, both former Humphrey delegates, led the Jackson push. "I find no opposition so far among the former Humphrey supporters to shift to Jackson, except maybe among the blacks," Moore said. Mall Timanus, state coordinator for Wallace, said there was no danger of any shift in the Wallace delegates, even after the first ballot. "We're set," he said.

Timanus will give a seconding speech tonight tonight to the nomination of Wallace. There was a possibility another Texas Karenthold of Corpus Christi, leader of the McGovern group- might be nominated for vice president. She said Cris Trevino, a University of Houston student, had asked permission to circulate a petition that would authorize the nomination. "I am not one to dampen youthful ardor," Mrs. Farenthold said.

McGovern's aides said that others under consideration include: United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock; Sens. Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri and Abraham A. Ribi- coff of Connecticut and Florida Gov. Reubin Askew.

The Democratic National Convention, meanwhile, headed toward approval of a platform that mirrors McGovern's views in calling for total U.S. withdrawal from Indochina and busing to improve educational opportunities.

George C.

Wallace. As the convention deliberated through a second marathon night session Tuesday in a relaxed atmosphere after Monday night's sharp credentials battles, Wallace provided a dramatic highlight with an appeal for far-ranging tax reform and a denunciation of "the senseless asinine busing of little school children." A mighty roar went up and red-white-and-blue placards waved from the pro-Wallace delegates as Wallace was carried in a wheelchair to the podium. Other delegates stood in respect to the governor, partially paralyzed when shot down while campaigning in Laurel, May 15. But Wallace's appeals were doomed to failure as the convention worked to approve a platform, tailored largely to the liberal views of McGovern. Sens.

ConnaUy, back home after a 17-nation mission for President Nixon, says he may campaign actively for the chief executive's re-election this fall but expects no offer to be Nixon's running mate. He also said he has no idea what new assignment Nixon may have in mind for him, although the President mentioned on most major issues. "I think it would be a mistake to assume that I'll sit this one out," said ConnaUy, who resigned in May as Treasury secretary amid speculation that Nixon might choose him to replace Spiro T. Agnew on the GOP ticket in November. "It's conceivable that I could be fairly active" for Nixon, he said, but he turned aside questions suggesting that the President sent him on the five-week vice president.

"I would anticipate that I on some other special duties.

"I think it would be unthinkable that the President and I got together and didn't talk a little domestic politics," he said.

ConnaUy added, though, that he has no plan to attend the Republican National Convention next month at Miami Beach. In the brief news conference at Andrews Air Force Base, he said he hoped to be relieved of public service for a while but "you never know what's going to happen."

But, asked if he missed attending the Democratic National Convention at Miami Beach, he said, "I miss it, kind of like a man misses a sore thumb." As for McGovern, he said, "in light of some of his policies, he's not the most attractive candidate in the country, as far as I can see." ConnaUy, former Texas governor who has been active in several Democratic national conventions, said he will talk to Nixon later this week at the Western White Home before making a public report on his trip. But that's not all that will Agents capture two men outside McGovern's hotel MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

(AP) Two men were taken into custody today by Secret Service agents and the FBI outside Sen. George McGovern's hotel. Two pistols were taken from their car. Both men were black and wore jeans. They were taken into custody shortly after McGovern concluded a meeting on the 17th floor in the penthouse suite of the Doral Beach Hotel with six Democratic governors.

The men apparently arrived in a small sports car with Michigan license plates. The weapons were taken from their vehicle when authorities searched it, a man who identified himself as an FBI agent said. Their names were not immediately available. Inside the car were several scraps of note paper and printed literature dealing with black nationalism. At least one of the two men was found inside the hotel.

It was not immediately clear whether the second man was first seized inside or outside of the building.

An hour later, five masked gunmen believed to be Protestant executioners broke into a home in Belfast and murdered a 16-year- old Catholic. And the body of a hooded man, shot in the head, was found in Belfast, apparently another victim of the assassins who have terrorized the city for weeks. Meanwhile, the British government ordered 32,000 troops, police and militiamen into the streets of 18 cities and towns to keep the warring religious factions apart today while 100,000 Protestants of the Orange Order paraded.

Belfast was lit by scores of street bonfires during the night, marking the advent of the "Glorious Twelfth." It is the 282nd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, in which the Prot- estant armies of William of Orange defeated the Roman Catholic forces of James II. Amid politicians' warnings that Northern Irleand is closer to civil war than at any time in the three years of communal violence, the militant Protestants of the Ulster Defense Association their armed units would protect the marchers from attack by the Catholics of the Irish Republican Army. Government forces cordoned the line of march in Belfast to block attacks by Catholics enraged by the display of Protestant dominance. Catholics of the Andersonstown, Ballymurphy and Ardoyne districts sealed off their sectors with barricades of concrete and steel to keep out Protestant raiders. Trouble was feared in Portadown, a town of 13,000 population 25 miles southwest of Belfast.

A few moves later the bishop was trapped and lost in exchange for two pawns. U.S. grandmaster Robert Byrne said it was a blunder and commented, "Fischer is going to have trouble making a draw.
