ESTABLISHED 1873 ° — GOTHAM GAILY DECORATED FOR HERO'S RETURN Stars and Stripes Fly Every- where — Buildings Hung With Great Streamers WINDOWS BARRICADED Broadway and Fifth Avenue Jammed With People at an Early Hour Today * New York, June .13.—@)—The buildings of Broadway were put in cori ‘ape lest-they get their ribs e a welcome to Asceinaine ernational mercantile marine building at Broad- way and the Battery and extending all the way up to City Hall, the win- dows of the financial district’s build- ings were boarded, fenced or wired against the impending crush of the young airman’s admirers. The boarding of windows was the revival of an old election day cus- tom which has fallen into disuse in recent quieter years, For no wel- come celebration in many years has such a precaution been deemed nec- essary. Protection Much Needed But that it was necessary today was evidenced hours before the time for Lindbergh's arrival, The early morning saw Battery Place filling with patient waiters who crowded the sea wall to inspect gaily flagged harbor craft and ringed the aquarium to watch the marshaling of hun- dreds of horse, motorcycle and foot police in the open space before the seventh precinct station house. “The stars and stripes flew every- where and buildings were hung with great streamers screaming a weleome in colored ink te the hero of: the rowds, Second floor store and of- windows were banked with Fifth avenue, one of the world’s greatest thoroughfares, had to some extent followed Broadway's lead in boarding windows, but: the majority there trusted to the wider street and sidewalks to save thei, glass from the crush, T so, of, buildings which were boarded were mostly those occupied by fa- mous jewelers behind whose win- dows lay treasures to tempt a king. jay Decorations Fifth eae was ‘even more gaily decorated than the . gray canyons formed by the Skyscrapers in the financial district: The white light- ing bulbs of every day use had been supplanted with the golden globes used on every special oceasion, On every pole was a large shield bear- ing the city’s seal and the word “Lindbergh—New York.” The streets were filled with men, women and children carrying camp stools, newspapers, mats, anything for a seat. And among them moved an army of hawkers selling flags, but- tons, balloons, hats, everything that could bear the name or the picture of the boy whose existence was known t@ scarcely ,one in all the crowd but five weeks ago. In the early morning the sky was overcast and a chill breeze from the northwest swept the island, but togard 8 o'clock blue sky appeared aie a warming sun smiled over the city.
