Henry Ford, American automobile magnate, now staying at the Bayerhof Hotel here, today declined to see leaders of the National Socialist Party (Fascists) who called on him in an attempt to get him to support the Hitlerite movement. Repulsed by Mr. Ford, the representatives of Adolf Hitler, National Socialist chieftain, then placed before Mr. Ford’s spokesman similar proposals.
Among the suggestions made to Mr. Ford was that he support the Hitlerites to the extent of 20,000,000 marks, a suggestion that Mr. Ford and his representatives categorically refused.
