roo coNFIDENTSA SAYS WOODRUFF
Chairman Criticises Attitude
 of Press in New York.

New York, Oct. 9, Timothy L.Wood- ruff, chairman of the state republican committee, said to-day:
 The tone of the republican press is too confident We are too sure of win ming. Now, I want to say this is no time for confidence. This is a time for work. It is absolutely necessary that the republican party of the state get a hustle on. A great many reports that get from upstate are decidedly unfa- vorable.
 There seems to be an opinion in re- publican circles that every republican in the state is going to vote for Hughes, If I were absolutely sure of that l would close up these headquarters. There wouldn't be any use in carrying on the fight, because Hughes would be elected, sure. But all the republicans are not going to vote for Hughes, and it is up to our people to get out every vote against Hearst"
