 Republican Prospects i'm New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Among the visitors at the rooms of the Republican National con- mittee this morning was State Senator John W. Birdsal, of Suffolk county in this State. When asked by reporter what the Repubi cans of the eastern end of Long Island were doing, the Senator said: ''They will give a good account of themselves next month. I think Suffolk county will give majority of about five hundred for Garfield and Arthur, and they will also cut down the Democratic majority in Queens county considerably. In 1876 Tilden had majority of about :, ,OOO in Queens county, but do not think Hancock will have more than 2, 500.'
 Secretary Vrooman, of the Republican State committee, returned this morning from short trip through the central part of the State. Mir. Vrooman said, in conversation with the reporter: 'tI attended two or three meetings last week in the central part of the State, and at each point saw large crowds of interested listeners. I am perfectly conf
 dent that the Republican party will increase
 their majority in every county now held by
 them, and will reduce the majority of their
 opponents in every Democratic county.'' Greenbacker Lum's Charges. WASHINGTON Oct. 4.-D. l.. Lum, former assistant secretary of the National Green back Labor committee, arrived here from New York to-day. He has in his possession letter purporting to have been written by
 Marshall Jewell, requesting him to come to New York to hold consultation. Lum says
 the object of this consultation was to secure
 the cooperation of the Greenbaok leaders
 with the Republicans. He stoutly adheres
 to his charges that General Weaver, the
 Greenback Presidential candidate, has sold out to the Republicans, alleging that MT.
 Weaver has received from MT. Jewell $1O,- 900 of the 1925 900 promised him for desert
 ing the party in the interest of the Repubi- cans. Lums statements are pronounced false hv Graenhackers hera
