The focus is on New York, where four of those big names are running for the Senate. Sens. Hubert Humphrey and Edward M. Kennedy are seeking renomination in Democratic primaries in Minnesota and Massachusetts. Meldrim Thomson, the outspoken conservative governor of New Hampshire, faces opposition from a moderate Republican, and Gov Philip W. Noel of Rhode Island, whose remarks have occasionally put him in trouble, is seeking a Democratic Senate nomination in his state. But the game is in New York. There, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, erstwhile ambassador to the United Nations, faces the flamboyant Rep. Bella Abzug, former U.S. Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark and two other candidates for the Democratic Senate nomination, and conservative Sen. James Buckley seeks the Republican nomination. Other Tuesday Primaries There are also primaries Tuesday in Utah, North Carolina. Colorado, Wisconsin, Vermont, Nevada and Wyoming as the political spotlight moves temporarily from the race for president to the states. The New York Democratic race is thought to have narrowed to a contest, between Moynihan and Mrs. Abzug. The other candidates are Clark, who ran a strong race two years ago against Sen. Jacob K. Javits; New York City Council president Paul ODwyer, and Abu Hn sulnuib, a New York City businessman. Early in the campaign, the candidates spent much of their time claiming each was the one w ho could do the most for Israel, with Moynihan emphasizing his outspoken stand at the U.N. Lately, it has become more personal, with Mrs. Abzug attacking Moynihan for his service to Republican administrations and Moynihan retorting that he served Democratic piesi-den- t all-st- ar wMm to J J 4 'At- i 'i- 4 iW'lSk &- fQ: - u x yWs- Assocldtmj Press WlreptiutT personnel greet passengers released by hijackers upon arrival at Chicagos OUare Airlines Airport Satui day.
