Foley's name has to stay on the ballot, while votes cast for him will be counted toward his party's new choice.

Here's the relevant statute:

.....If the name of the new nominee is submitted after the certification of results of the preceding primary election, however, the ballots shall not be changed and the former party nominee's name will appear on the ballot. Any ballots cast for the former party nominee will be counted for the person designated by the political party to replace the former party nominee.
