"Suppose Thow Is hustled by his friends to the nearest seaport on the New Hampshire and Maine coast," said Von Hoffman. “Let him b e put aboard a private yacht, a fast one. I expect to be with Thaw through this. My plan is to take him down to Buenos Ayres to get a good rest, sev eral months, If necessary. Later, when Thaw wishes, we will charter a yacht and steam across the Atlantic to a German port.” Thaw now has retained ten lawyers and Is negotiating with attorneys In New Hampshire and Vermont to open a fight there for him if he is sent over the line in one of those State*. It was learned to-day triat Thaw, had no railway ticket for Detroit, Mich., when arrested on Canadian soil and can not claim to be a tourist j passing through this country.
