Oct. 19.—(AP)—Chancellor Hitler of Germany was expected today to send special instructions from his Bavarian retreat which may mean success or failure for European pow ers trying to agree on a formula for withdrawal of foreign soldiery from Spain. Hitler’s attitude, hitherto only a backdrop for Premier Mussolini of Italy in these vital talks, was pro jected to the forefront when Hitler's ambassador to London, Joaquim von Ribbentrop. made an unexpected semf secret flight to Germany to obtain Der Fuehrer’s views. (A Munich dispatch said the envoy arrived there last evening, and im mediately proceeded to Berchtesgaden to report to Hitler.) The departure from England of th& Nazi representative in the London negotiations was not known general ly until it was disclosed he. had reached Germany. It was doubtful whether he would return here in time for resumption of the non-intervention sub-committee’s session this after noon. There was little doubt that Hitler’s orders would uphold the Rome-Ber lir. friendship axis; and view of the week-end developments did not augur well for any immediate successful conclusion of the talks. It was known beth Britain and France were most skeptical of Italy’s statement, issued in Rome yesterday, that only 40,000 Italians were fighting in Spain with the insurgents.
