Item 1.Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 26 to Schedule 13D on Hudson General
Corporation (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf of the
undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule
13D") which was originally filed on August 26, 1988. Unless
otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the
Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer. These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.
("Entoleter"), Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch
Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and
Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-Community") (collective-
ly, "Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in various aspects of the
securities business, primarily as investment adviser to various
institutional and individual clients, including registered
investment companies and pension plans, as broker/dealer and as
general partner of various private investment partnerships.
Certain of these entities may also make investments for their own
accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own benefi-
cially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular
issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as
institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial
ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1%
threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13D or implementation of
their investment philosophy may from time to time require action
which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid
any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being
reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons
have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more
detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule
13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be
necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"),
Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli & Company"), Gabelli Performance
Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli Associates

International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli International II Limited
("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE
Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli Multimedia Partners, L.P.
("Multimedia Partners"), Mr. Gabelli, Lynch, Spinnaker, Western New
Mexico, Entoleter, Lynch Telecom, Lynch Telephone and Inter-

with respect to the executive officers and directors of the
foregoing entities and other related persons (collectively,
"Covered Persons"), reference is made to Schedule I annexed hereto
and incorporated herein by reference.
(d) and (e) - On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted
and simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an
administrative proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO. The
order instituting the proceeding included a finding, which Gabelli
& Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that they failed
to implement and maintain policies and procedures reasonably
designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information
by not sepecifically addressing the special circumstances that
arose from their affiliation with Lynch Corporation, a public
company. To resolve this matter, Gabelli & Company and GAMCO
agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 15(f) of the 1934
Act and Section 204A of the Advisers Act, respectively. They
further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$50,000, and to retain, and adopt the recommendations of, an
independant consultant regarding their Section 15(f) and Section
204A policies and procedures.
On December 13, 1991, the Virginia State Corporation
Commission entered an order of settlement in final disposition of
matters arising from an allegation that GAMCO had transacted
business in Virginia as an investment adviser without having been
registered as such under Virginia Code Section 13.1-504A or an
exemption therefrom. GAMCO consented to the entry of the order
without admitting or denying the allegation and without a hearing.
The terms of the order provide that GAMCO would pay a fine and
costs totalling fifty-five thousand dollars and would not transact
business in Virginia as an investment adviser unless it was
registered as such under section 13.1-504A or was exempt from
registration.
(f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as
follows:
All Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximately
$3,280,182 to purchase the additional Securities requiring this
Amendment to Schedule 13D. GAMCO and GFI used approximately
$572,797 and $1,209,555, respectively, of funds that were provided
through the accounts of certain of their investment advisory
clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at GAMCO, may be
through borrowings from client margin accounts) in order to
purchase the additional shares for such clients. GIL and GIL II
used approximately $707,000 and $790,830, respectively, of working
capital to purchase the Securities reported by them.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
Item 5 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as
follows:
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to
which this Schedule l3D relates is 746,748 shares, representing
50.05% of the 1,491,750 shares outstanding. This latter number of
shares is arrived at by adding the number of shares reported as
being outstanding in the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-Q
dated September 30, 1995 (1,157,202 shares) to the number of shares
which would be receivable by the Reporting Persons if they were to
convert all of the Issuer's Convertible Bonds held by them (334,548
shares) into the common stock of the Issuer. However, at current
market prices it would be uneconomic for any person to convert any
of such Convertible Bonds and substantially all such Convertible
Bonds and not just those held by the Reporting Persons would be
converted if it became economic to do so. Accordingly, the
Reporting Persons believe that the percentage of beneficial
ownership attributable to them under the rules of the SEC are
artificially high and that a more realistic percentage of their
aggregate economic interest, which does not take into account the
conversion of such Convertible Bonds, would be 35.98%.
The Reporting persons beneficially own the Securities as
follows:
Shares of % of Shares of % of
Common Class of Common Stock, Class
Name Stock Common Converted Converted
GAMCO
As Principal 0 0.00% 0 0.00%
As Agent 306,300 26.74% 536,832 35.99%
GFI
Principal 0 0.00% 0 0.00%
Agent 95,000 8.29% 153,129 10.26%
GIL 0 0.00% 21,371 1.43%
GIL II 0 0.00% 23,905 1.60%
Mario Gabelli 10,900 0.95% 11,511 0.77%
Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
Securities beneficially owned by each of the foregoing persons and
GFI is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities
beneficially owned by each of the foregoing persons other than
Gabelli.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has
the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose
or to direct the disposition of the Securities reported for it,
either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its investment
clients or its partners, as the case may be, except that: (i) GAMCO
Investors, Inc. does not have authority to vote 41,500 of the
reported shares; (ii) since the aggregate voting interest of all
joint filers exceeds 25% of the total voting interest in the
Issuer, with respect to the 21,000 shares (1.83%) of the common
stock held by The Gabelli Asset Fund, the 40,000 shares (3.49%) of
common stock held by The Gabelli Small Cap Growth Fund, and the
34,000 shares (2.97%) of common stock held by The Gabelli Value
Fund Inc., the proxy voting committee of each such Fund has taken
and exercises in its sole discretion the entire voting power with
respect to the shares held by each such Fund, until its proxy
committee determines otherwise and accordingly, GFI has no voting
authority with regard to the shares held by such Funds; and, (iii)
the power of Mr. Gabelli and GFI is indirect with respect to
Securities beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons.
(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the
Securities which were effected during the past sixty days by each
of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons is set forth on
Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference. <PAGE>
