Hugh Carey scored a smashing upset over ex-off -track betting boss Howard Samuels last night to win the Demo cratic gubernatorial nomination.

He claimed victory less than two hours after the polls clossj and immediately challenged in It was the crushing climax to an increasingly bitter campaign that cost Samuels and his supporters $1.7 million over the last IS months. Dumped with Samuels was the entire statewide slate picked by the party's June convention. The 55-year-old Brooklyn congressman, boosted by the momentum of his upset and confident of Liberal Party support, now finds himself on top of a well balanced ticket that stamps him as a formidable rival to Republican-Conservative Gov. Wilson in the general election, just 55 days away. Ramsey Clark, the maverick former U.S.

attorney general, piled up convincing margins over Syracuse Mayor Lee Alexander, the party designee, and businessman Abraham Hirschfeld for the right to carry the Democratic standard against veteran U.S. Sen. Jacob Javits. In another surprise, State Sen. Mary Anne Krupsak edged News photo by Gene Kappock Rep.

Samuels Concedes Only 97 minutes after the polls closed at 9 p.m., Samuels strode into the ballroom upstairs to the incongruous strains of "Happy Days Are Here Again" to concede the primary election that he had been favored to win. "I suppose I could cry tonight, not for myself but for all of you, my friends, my family, who have worked so hard for this campaign," he told still-stunned supporters. The silver-haired, self-made millionaire pledged to back Carey and said he sought to "teach the Republican Party, who think they escaped a trial by jury, that they will not escape a trial by election." "Not a Personal Victory" Only a few blocks away at the Commodore, Carey was greeted with the same, more appropriate "Happy Days" air and boisterous cheers as he promised that his party would strengthen its traditional ties with labor. "What we won tonight was not a personal victory," Carey declared. "It was a victory for the idea of independence." Subdued Samuels aides credited Carey's upset to the highly-effective TV commercials (that cost more than $000,000 of his (Continued on page 6, col.

He made his victory claim as he led a three-way race with Syracuse Mayor Lee Alexander and Manhattan millionaire Abe Hirschfeld. When the results were in, Hirschfeld conceded and urged backing for Clark. Hirschfeld, who spent a small fortune in the race in which he said his thick Jewish accent would be more acceptable to New Yorkers than Clark's Texas drawl, said: "It's not really a defeat.

Morgenthau, holder of an illustrious name in American politics, had been a heavy favorite over Kuh, who served under the late DA Frank Hogan 12 years ago. Morgenthau said that his eight years in Foley Square fitted him for the task, while Kuh relied on his previous service under Hogan plus his six months as DA.

"It's pretty clear from the size of the vote that the people wanted Morgenthau," commented a happy Pierre Laval, Morgenthau's campaign manager.
