"We butted some names around," Fauntroy said, including Eagleton, and United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock. There are conflicting reports on the manner in which Eagle- ton's apparent position as lead tng candidate held firm while others fell by the wayside. Fauntroy and Clay say that by noon Just seven men were atlll under consideration: Eagleton, Landrleu, Mayor Kevin White of Boston, Woodcock, Askew and Rep. Wilbur Mills, D-Ark. While the fortunes of White and others slid, Eagleton's were on a steady course through the maze of analysis and potential criticism.

At 1:50 p.m., while phone calls and conferences were in progress on the 17th floor, The GOP meeting begins Aug. 21 in the same Miami Beach convention center where Democrats have just met. Nixon did order Henry A. Kissinger, his national security affairs adviser, to arrange a meeting soon with McGovern to set up a series of intelligence briefings for the Democratic nominee. Ziegler said McGovern would be kept "fully abreast" of Vietnam peace talks and, in response to a question, hinted the briefings also would deal with any secret negotiations that may be arranged in th weeks ahead.

The President and Kissinger received a steady flow of written reports on resumed peace talks in Paris Thursday. Agnew Keeps Options Open MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) Vice President Splro Agnew says if he decides to seek reelection as vice president it will mean he is keeping open his options for an eventual bid for the presidency. In a copyright story in Thursday's Manchester Union Leader, Agnew indicated that President Nixon had not yet advised him whether he would ask Agnew to be his running mate, Agnew said it was a decision the President "should make on a cold, realistic, political basis without any feelings of personal affinity for the individual, because what really is going to market here is the welfare of a press secretary Ronald L. Zieg-ler said, "It has not been decided." There has been speculation for more than a year that, should Nixon decide to replace Vice President Spiro T.

Agnew as his 1972 running mate, he might turn to Connally. The former Treasury chief has expressed disinterest in the job but has never said flatly he would not accept. Another globe-circling traveler, Secretary of State William P. Rogers, will be at the Western White House on Saturday to McGovern Wednesday night. I When the convention's final' gavel fell at 3:27 a.m., the Democrats had ended a historic convention.

With reform rules that produced massive increases in the numbers of women, black and young delegates, It ratified a early today followed a hectic day of telephone calls and conferences about the vice presidential spot. Reports of lists of candidates with far-ranging membership floated out of the McGovern en tourage. But whether there was a list on paper with two, four, seven or twenty-five names on it, Eagleton. was the front-run ner after Sen. Edward M.

Kennedy's decision against running was accepted. Others menttoned by McGovern's staff members and outside participants In the day long meeting Thursday had ei ther said they didn't want the Job or had not been seriously considered by McGovern. Nixon, SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (AP) Former Treasury Sec retary John B. Connally has arrived in Southern California for a conference today with Presi dent Nixon.

Connally, until recently the only Democrat In Nixon's Cabinet, just completed a 35-day, 15-nation trip around the world for the President, who has promised the mission would be followed by an important new assignment for the silver-haired Texan. Asked if the new assignment would be announced today, time college professor from South Dakota. Waves of applause rocked the hall as Hubert H. Humphrey, Edmund S. Muskie, Henry M.

Jackson, Shirley Chisholm and Terry Sanford lifted high the hands of the 49-year-old nomi nee and his 42-year-old running mate from Missouri. Reviewing the way his campaign swept aside the established political leadership, McGovern said he would dedi cate his White House campaign to the people, declared that next January he would restore government to their hands and added: "American politics will never be the same again." With some labor leaders still determined to sit out the campaign and other delegates grumbling about the ways in which his operatives dominated the convention, McGovern forecast the battle against Richard Nixon would bring the party "together in common cause" this fall. "He is the unwitting unifier and the fundamental issue of this national campaign," McGovern said, adding that "all of us together are going to help him redeem a pledge he he wus still in the running. I At 11 a.m. top staffers Joined i changing membership, Downstairs, In Room 1009, about a dozen blacks, Including! Clay, waited for the return of, report to Nixon on a 19-day journey to 10 countries.

Ziegler reported that the President and Mrs. Nixon watched final Democratic convention proceedings on television Thursday night. However, the press secretary kept mum about Nixon's reaction to the nomination of Sen. George McGovern as his November opponent. "We won't have a specific comment on the upcoming election and proceedings until after the Republican convention," Ziegler said.

Often as he spoke, his sup- porters erupted in applause as he pledged an end to the Viet nam war, as he pledged before all else that "the doors of government will be opened, and that war will be closed." The Wallace supporters, cen- tered in the delegations from his speech. The ovation that followed, greeting, went surpassing his on for minutes as the other top Democrats again faced the cheers of the crowd. Chants of "Let's go, George" filled the hall as the Democrat- ic ticket, beaming and waving, stood before the crowd Despite public avowals of confidence, some in the hall were unsure. Southern governors, such as Georgia's Jimmy Carter and North Carolina's Robert W. Scott, said they would have preferred a different ticket.

But they pledged support. A big question mark was Wallace, confined to a wheelchair since the May 15 attempted assassination in Laurel, Md. Most thought he would go back to Alabama and sit out the campaign. After returning to Washington today, McGovern flies to South Dakota on Saturday for two weeks of rest and strategy ses sions in a secluded resort in the Black Hills, south of famed Mount Rushmore. Most of Nebraska's pheasant pop.

ulation developed from about 500 came and went and McGovern ence would be "at some further time." "The hours really went by," McGovern's press secretary, Richard J. Dougherty, ex. plained late Thursday. "It took longer than we suspected." McGovern, he ald, "has a fine. ly honed concern for dignity" 1 and wanted to keep certain people apprised of the situation and, in some cases, asked for their advice on various candidates.

At 3:30 p.m. McGovern quietly told the 10 aides and his wlfa that Eagleton was it. Shapp at he convention, the candidate of the convention becomes my candidate," Camlel said. But, he added, that the McGovern-Eagleton ticket "is going to make me work hard-er." Camiel said he will talk to state labor leaders to try to whip up support for the candidates. 'I can be the bridge for the party because of the position I took on the presidential question supporting Jackson," Camiel said.

I. W. Abel, head of the Steel-workers Union, was adamantly opposed to McGovern. Abel would endorse the South Da kota senator. Abel said he respects Eagleton, "But frankly I doubt that his occupying the second spot will have much impact." He described the party's chances for victory in November as "problematic" and uphill all the way.

"You never want anyone as powerful as Abel sitting on thJ sideline," Shapp remarked, adding that "Major elements of labor will support the ticket." McGovern supporters discounted the effect of opposition from top union officials. They noted that leaders at the local level were joining the McGovern camp. Shapp said th? presidential election will be a tough fight for the Democrats in all states and predicted that the economy will be the major campaign issue. He said McGovern could car ry Pennsylvania and persons who say he can't win are underestimating the senator. 'I think they've overlooked the new type of strength that McGovern can bring to the Democratic party," Shapp said.

The governor said he met Eagleton twice and regards him as "a bright and articulate senator." Among the McGovern sup. conservative Missouri Gerald Kaufman and Molly Yard, co-chairman of the McGovernites, asked the members of their caucus if they wanted to vote for a draft of Sen. Edward Kennedy for the second place spot, but the members didn't want to do it. Kennedy has refused to run for office this year.

Amid the unprecedented splintering of ballots, it took until the next-to-last state, Texas, before the Missouri senator passed the 1,509 total that marked the needed majority.

As votes were checked, the defeated candidates most prominent among them being Texas state Rep. Frances T. "Sissy" Farenthold, Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, and former Massachusetts Gov. Endicott Eagleton.
