REPUBLICANS FEEL NEW
 YORK SLIPPING.

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-It is now New York that the Republicans fear and to which they are turning their anxious attention. The un- favorable situation in the Middle West has convinced the Republicans that they must have New York in order to make Hughes election pos sible. and the investigations into She state of affairs in the Empire State which have been carried on by telegraphic, telephone and per- 'sonal visitation for the last 4S hours have disclosed an alarming situation. It is admitted that a steady drift toward Wilson has been under way for several weeks in old-line Republican counties, and that the drift is being accelerated as election day draws nearer. The have injected an el- ement of uncertainty that, it is ad- mitted, demands instant and heroic attention.
 The Republicans plan now to have Hughes make IS speeches in this State in going to and return ling from the West where one last effort will be made to turn the tide that is known to be running strong ly to Wilson.
