AUSTRIAN ARMY HAS
 ABANDONED HUNGARY
Has Left Route to 5urapest to be
 Defended by Hungarian Troops.

London Sept 30, 2:10 a. m-'From the latest events inf Galicia and along the Carpathians the conclusion drawn is that the Austrian army has aband- oned Hungary to its fate and has left the route to BudapeSt to be defended by the Hungarian national troops'i, says the Petrograd correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. The despatch continues:
 "The Austrians continue to retreat before the pursuing Russians and ap- pear to have given up no only the defence of their. country in general, but also to have decided to abstain from further independent action. They are simply hurrying on to Cracow to join the right wing of the Germans and apparently intend to become a mere component part of the German army.
 F Having passed the most difficult part of Ugek Pass in the Carpathians, after dislodging the Honvedes from three positions, the Russian troops have only some ten or fifteen miles to descend before reaching the Hun sarian plateau, where there is not a single fortress or fortified position ex- oept such as may be hastily inn provised in the form of .earthworks by the Hungary defenders"

 The chancellor of the exchequer pointed out that under conscQiptions Wales would be compelled to contrib ute a quarter of a million men, but that a voluntary army of 50,000 men would be just as good as forced army five times that number.

LATE RETURNS FROM
 : EMPIRE STATE PRIMARIES.
Whitman, GIynn and Gerard Continue
 to Add 10 Their PIuraIities.

New York, Sept 29.-With the re- ceipt of about two-thirds of the up- state vote and virtually all of the New York city returns, it appeared tonight that James w. Wadsworth, Jr., had won the republican nomina- tion< for United States senator over William M. Calder and Frederick Nj. Davenport had defeated former Cover nor William Sulzer for the. progressive gubernatorial nomination.
 The predictions of both victories are based on the constantly increasing leads of Wadsworth and Davenport in the upstate returns. Wadsworth still is slightly behind Calder, but he is gaining rapidly. and with TOO districts still to be heard from he is believed to stand an excellent show of winning. An error of about TOO votes in the Greater New York tabulation tonight threw Wadsworth into the lead tempo rarily on the face of the returns, but he really is about 2,000 behind. With 1000 districts still to report, Daven- port was /2.000 ahead of Sulzer.
 Governor Glynn, District Attorney continued to add to their pluralities upstate for the democratic, guberna- torial, republican gubernatorial and democratic senatorial nominations, re- spectively. With majority of almost 100, 900 already established over John ernor would finish probably 125,0o0 votes ahead of his opponent. Whit mans plurality probably will be be- tween 5O,O00 and 75.00o. It is believed that Gerard's plurality win exceed 75,- 900.
 A persistent report Is current that John A. Hennessy will make an inde- pendent race for governor despite his defeat by Governor Glynn. Hennessy has not committed himself on this rlrnor, but his friends declare that it is not unlikely he will follow this course. By filing a petition containing the names of 5000 men who did not vote in Mondays primary before Ocs. 2S. Hennessy can get his name on the ballot.
