These came to mind:
Rambler Murphy in Fred MacIsaac's pulp stories is something
of a hobo. He's a journalist wandering around, as his
nickname suggests, and he stops by cities to make big news
items and articles. Once he's done, he leaves for another
city. The stories appeared in Dime Detective in 1933-1940.
There ought to be a collection of them.
Does Martin Goldsmith's DETOUR count as a hobo story? I
haven't read it (nor seen the film (!)), but there's plenty
of hitch-hiking in there.
