(1)I want him to attending the party.
(2)I want him attending the party.

Are both sentences correct?
Is there any difference between two sentences?

Thanks for your help.

(1)I want him to attending the party.
(2)I want him attending the party.

1. Is incorrect.
2. Is possible, but most of us would say, " I want him to come to the party."
If you must use attend then , "I want him to attend the party," is grammatically correct, but sounds rather stilted.
