Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Neb., July 14.—Governor
Bryan was accorded a real ovation
in his old home town today. It re
minded the oldsters of the days when
Lincoln had fallen into the habit of
ovatlng for hfs brother when he came
home from Democratic conventions
with a presidential nomination In
Ida hand.
The crowd at the Burlington depot
'-.as large—some ten or twelve thou
fi nd, all told—and It was with some
('■ (Acuity that the governor found his
v ay to the automobile reserved for
him. But Boy Scouts acting as
guards managed to keep a lane fairly
well opened and after some delay the
governor reached his car. The route
from the Burlington station to the
executive mansion was lined with
people. Lincoln crowds are never
demonstrative, but this one gave the
former mayor, present governor, and
vice presidential nominee, a recep
tion equally as cordial as that given
to former candidates and even some
1'residents.
The Elks’ band headed the pro
cession, followed by the Lincoln unit
of the National guard. Then came
a troop of Boy Scouts, followed by an
auto conveying the governor, J. Cass
Cornell of the Chamber of Commerce
t.nd Judge William H. Thompson.
Makes Short Speech,
At the executive mansion Governor
Bryan was permitted to enter before
any speechmaking, and was met by
hi- wife and daughter, and by bis
sister, Mrs. Tom Allen.
Mayor Zehrung, who defeated the
■ , \ernor for mayor once upon a time,
introduced the vice presidential can
e ate to the immense throne gatli
i ifil at the mansion. He voiced the
city's appreciation of the honor con
fern 1 upon Its distinguished cltxen.
Governor Bryan talked very briefly,
lie said he had not seen anything
i - it looked better to him than
Nebraska.
' [ have heard It intimated that 1
v as nominated for vice president hy
the Democratic convention,” but so
far I have no official knowledge of the
fact,” he sold. "Hawever. I am a
hit cppr'henslve that the rumors are
true. I am not going to make a
political speech. This Is neither the
time nor the place to discuss political
issues. I recognize that you are here
a • friends, not as partisans; that you
greet me merely as a neighbor. The
people of Nebraska have done more
for me than ever I can repay. Later
in the campaign, after I have been
officially assured that I a mthe nomi
nee, will he time enough to discuss
Issues. Now I just want to meet
you as friend meets friend.”
Declines to Discuss Politics.
Governor and Mrs. Bryan and their
daughter. Mrs. Harrlsberger, stood In
line while hundreds passed bv to
<d ake their hands and express their
congratulations to the governor.
A committee from the various civic
organizations of Lincoln met Gover
nor Bryan and his party at Ashland,
jt was headed hy J. Casa Cornell. A
small crowd met the train as Ash
‘ land, among others being the gover
nor’s new son ln-law, Mr. Harns
herger. His daughter went down on
the train just ahead.
John Hopklna, jr., 3. H. Hanley
and Lee Herdman were among the
- prominent Omaha demoerata accom
panying the governor to Lincoln, and
there were aeveral quiet conferencea
on the way down.
Governor Bryan refused emphatic
ally to say a word about any poa
alhle successor on the state ticket.

By Associated Press.
Kushlro, Island of Hokkaido, Japan,
July 14.—A. Stuart MacLaren and his
two companions, on their way around
the world by air, arrived here today
from Mlnato, on Honshu, the main
Island of Japan.
The next stop of the British filers
is at Hitokappu Anchorage on Yetoro
fu Island, one of the Kurile group.
The American round-world fliers
stopped at Hitokappu, but instead of
retdaclng their route eastward, the
McLaren party will make a detour
from Hitokappu to Attu Island, the
westernmost of the Aleutians, whee
they again will pick up the Ameri
cans’ trail.
This detour will lead the Britishers
to a small lake near the southern end
of Paramashlru Island, the most
northerly but one, of the Kuriles,
instead of to the anchorage at the
northern end of the island used by
the Americans as a landing place.
Thence they will fly to Petropavlovsk
on the western coast of the Kam
chatka peninsula, to Behring island.
Copper Island and Attu. Except Attu,
all the stops are In Russian terri
tory. Their use will shorten the
oversea jump considerably as com
pared with the hop of 856 miles made
by the Americans from Attu to
Paramashlru. Landings at them are
possible for the British fliers, though
the Americans could not come down
on Russian territory because Ameri
ca has not recognized the soviet Rus
sian government.

they were tired and almoet overcome
by the enthusiasm of their reception.

sguadrons of French airplanes were
In readiness throughout the day to

they were approaching Paris.
Lieutenant Smith, Lieutenant Leigh

the pilots, with their mechanicians,
Lieut. Leslie P. Arnold, Sgt. A. M.

"This Is one of the most agreeable

Wade, but his chief, Lieutenant
Smith, Inquired:
"How do we stand In the Olympic?”
M. I-aurent Kynac, under-secre
tary of the French air ministry ex
tended France’s welcome and con
gratulated the fliers, to all of which
the Americans listened modestly,
rather shyly and were anxious to
be away, to clean up the marks of
their air voyage, w'hich soon after
the start from Vlena was thrilling
eought because of a storm.
Lieutenant Smith, though entirely
recovered from a former mishap, was
visibly In need of sleep and he with
drew Into the background and In

"I trust the good people of Ne
braska have recovered from the
shock of my nomination,” said Gov.
Charles W. Bryan, democratic vice
presidential nominee, who, accom
panied by Judge W. H. Thompson of
Grand Island, returned Monday morn
ing from New York to resume his
gubernatorial duties.
The governor was discovered lolling
comfortably in his stateroom berth
when the train pulled Into Council
Bluffs at 8:45. He was coatless and
worechls famous skull cap.
"By the way, judge, I wish you
would file this telegram for me. Have
you sufficient funds?” he queried.
“The judge has been acting as my
secretary of the exchequer, and not
infrequently his disbursements ex
ceed my reimbursements, so I am
obliged to question him about his
status.
Sileitced by "Ethics."
"Ethics forbid my discussing na
tional political issues until after of
ficial notification of my nomination,
date for which has not been set. I
am at liberty, as governor, to discuss
Nebraska politics, however. I am
gratified to learn that the oil com
panies have complied with my request
to lower gasoline prices during my
absence, and that it will not be neces
sary for me to place It on sale
throughout the state.
"I hear that both Butler and Nor
ton, my former opponents, are again
In a receptive mood as regards the
office of governor. I naturally am
Interested to learn who my probable
wucceasor will be.”
“Spruces lip” for Reception.
"What reception?" queried Bryan,
when asked if he was prepared for
the reception to be accorded him by
citizens of Omaha upon his arrival.
"Perhaps I had better spruce myself
up a little. They won't expect me to
leave the train, will they?" You know
I am scheduled to arrive In Lincoln
this morning and I had hoped to slip
back home in a modest way!”
The governor slipped on his coat,
removed his skull cap and donned a
black felt hat. The porter whisked
at the vice presidential nominee with
a broom, dusted the gubernatorial
hat and received a $1 tip for his
pains.
Bryan Dignity Threatened.
“I believe we had better walk back
to the observation car platform,
Judge,” said Bryan, twisting his
mustache vigorously, and starting to
ward the rear of the train as It ap
proached the b. Idge across the Mis
sourl river.
The quiet Bryan dignity nearly was
lost between the last two ears, as he
tripped over two suitcases piled In
the vestibule, but he succeeded In
recovering his poise In time to greet
a New York traveling man, who In
troduced himself In the observation
car and proffered his wish of success.
"We lost so much sleep and missed
so many meals back there In New
York, that it seems I have been gone
much longer than three weeks,”
mused the governor, as the train
rolled into his own state.
Rickard Boxing Guest.
"We had a wonderful time at the
convention, despite the prolonged
session. Tex Rickard was kind
enough to take me to a boxing ex
hibition In the baseball park. I am
an enthusiastic patron of this sport
and Tex remembered It.
"Here's another record broken at
the convention. It was the first
time that two brothers ever received
votes simultaneously lor the nomina
