NAZI FUGITIVE.
Escaped Prisoner Takes Refuge In Italy. NOT TO BE DEPORTED. (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, August 31. Hcrr Franz Hofer, the Nazi leader who was rescued from gaol at Innsbruck as the result of a raid by Austrian Nazis and against whom Austria closed the Tyrolese frontier, crossed into Italy at Bolzano, where he begged the police not to send him back to inevitable death in Austria. The matter is now in the hands of Signor Mussolini. Bloodstains on the car were explained by a report that Hofer was wounded in his flight. He will not be extradited as long as he refrains from propaganda. A later message from Berlin states that Hofer will not be prevented from returning to Germany if he desires to.
