NEW YORK PRIMARIES TODAY.
Political Parties Choosing Candi
dates for the Fall Election.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-Pri-
maries were held throughout the state
today for the selection of candidates of
all parties for the state and county
offices to be voted for in the fall cleo
ton. AS there will be no guberna-
torial election this year. the highest
offices for which nominees will be
chosen today were those for justices of
the supreme court.
Candidates for the state assembly
were on the tickets voted in all pri-
maries throughout the state. In New
York county nominees for six justices
of the supreme court, representative
in Congress from the twenty-third dis
trict, district attorney, assemblymen,
aldermen and judges Of minor courts
were included in the primary lists.
The contest between Charles A. Per-
kins, the present district attorney, and
Frank Moss for the republican nomina-
ton for district attorney of New York
couaty aroused the greatest interest
in this city.

Austro-Hungarian Ambassa-
dor Recalled. as Requested
by United States.
ASKS FOR SAFE CONDUCT,
WHICH WILL BE GRANTED
Government Still Undetermined
What Action to Take in Case
of Capt. Won Papen.

With the receipt at the State Depart
ment today of Il telegram from DR.
Constantin Theodor Dumba, Austro-
Hur garian ambassador. stating that he
had been recalled and asking for safe
conduct. the 'Dumba incident" is
closed, and is SO considered at the
State Department. Acting Secretary
Polk today admitted that the depart
ment had been in touch, with Vienna
on the subject since Saturday. and said
that messages had been received indi-
eating that the action taken by Vienna
is final.
This government regards the matter
as entirely satisfactory. inasmuch as
the request for a recall of the ambas-
sador. who utilized his presence here
to formulate plans for stirring up
strife in American arms plants. has
been fully met by the Austro- Hun
garian foreign Office.
DR.. Du,nba asked for a leave OF alb
serce, but Ambassador Penfield at
Vienna has been informed that a full
recall is in order. DR.. Dumba today
telegraphed from Lenox. Mass. asking
for safe conduct" and it Is informally
agreed upon that this will be forth
coming.
Coincident with this announcement
today, the remaining copies of papers
carried by James f. J. Archibald en-
route to Vienna arrived at the State
Department. but were not in shape for
publication. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether any of these papers are Of i'm
portance. They will be examined care
fully and will be given to the Depart
ment of Justice, which is still hanging
on to the Archibald matter. although 1t
is almost publicly announced that no
action can be taken against the former
war correspondent.
The worst that can happen to him,
it is believed. is that the state De-
partment will not issue a passport to
him for further travelling.
The case of Capt. Won Papen. The
German military attacbe here. is not
closed. however. This government is
still deliberatinG over what should be
done to him in punitive measure for
his references TO "those idiotic Yam
KEGS" Despite the fact that Germs n
scholars translate the term to be a
little softer that 'idiotic.' and despite
the explanations by Capt. Won Papen
himself, something is likely to come
out Of the long study which the State
Department is making of the case.

Berlin Regards Offensive

BERLIN, September -, by wireless

News Agency There is no possibility
that the enemy will break through the
German lines. in view of the length OF
the front, which is 800 kilometers (5io

1T is TO be expected that the Ger.

ure OF c0,0UO prisoners given by the

Gen. French's Birthday.

Gen, French's Birthday.
This is the sixty-third birthday of
Field Marshal Sir John French. The
people are not expecting it to be sig

SO soon after the gains already
achieved. but these accomplishments
have called forth particularly cordial
congratulations for the British COM

The first consignment of wounded
reached London last midnight The
twelve men in the party were guarded
carefully from a curious crowd at the
railway station. They were quickly
placed in ambulances and removed to
hospitals.
"It really began Friday with a heavy
artillery action" the Daily Mail quotes
one of the wounded officers as saying.
Saturday morning under hurricane
of shrapnel the infantry leaped out
with short, sharp rushes. The German
trenches were at a distance of 400
yards.
There was some fine work with the
bayonet and hundreds of prisoners
gave themselves up with apparent ca
gerness Their willingness to be cap
tured was the most surprising thing
of the whole business. Many of them
were old men who seemed crushed and
exhausted

there is anything faulty with the Ger

prepared for by artillery for several
weeks, that there could have been no

What are we to make" Says tine
Daily Telegraph, ''of the astounding
fact that so many thousands of un-
wounded isermans We're captured, to
say nothing of the wounded not yet
enumerated, and Of the capture of 3oo
unwounded officers in Champagne
alone? 1t is plain on the face of the
measer body of facts yet Published
that something very remarkable, and
certaiE,r without precedent in this

thorities to let the nation into the facts
OF the situation at the soonest moment
possible.

your majesty to accept my warmest
compliments for the magnificent yalor
of which the Russian troops daily give
example and which ccmoeis the ad.
iniration of the entire world.
Only Beginning of Task.
Tho people Of Paris show no signs Of
becoming unduly optimistic as fresh de-
tails reveal the full measure of success
of the operations at Arras and in
Champagne. The public realizes fully
that il is only the beginning. but they
believe 1t justified great hopes for the
future. Although the attempt of the
German crown prince at diversion in
the Argonne failed, it is expected this
was only the first of the efforts he will
make to regain the ground lost.
Military writers point out the strate-
gic Importance of the section of Cham
pagnc singled out by Gen. Joffre for
the smashing blow which was SO tell
ingly delivered. The fiat ground per-
mitted the infantry to advance with
such speed on both flanks that the re-
serves Were caught and smashed be-
fore they We're able to join in the fight.
It is asserted that French artillery now
the Germans to supply their troops
around Rheims.
Main Object Farther North.
The main object of the operations lies
farther north. however. military ex-
perts believe. 1t is the main railroad
system, over which provisions and mu-
nitions pour from Germany. If the
French get within striking distance of
this system of communications the
whole German line must fall back. 1t
is expected. therefore. that the Ger
mans Will make stupendous efforts to
keep their forces intact, and that the
fighting which ended with the capture
of their first line of defenses was
child's play compared with what will
be required to break the second. third
and perhaps even fourth and fifth lines
which lie behind.
