Rockaway, N. Y, January 14.-All the commuters the suburbanites and the plain home folks who made up thls community turned out in the cold and rain today to welcome the three naval balloonists whose experiences in air, amid frozen forests, on dogsleds ans snowshoes have thrilled a continent since they sailed away from here q month ago yesterday.
 School children deserted their books, business men their desks and house. wives their kitchens-and all of them ignored precautions against pneu- Smonia-to see Lieutenants Kloor, Far rell and Hinton.
 Three noisy bands scattered joyful tunes among the millions of raindrops that drenched a lorg parade which fol : lowed the balloonists from the rail- road to the air station, six miles away. Miniature gas bags floated everywhere. 400 auto horns screeched to the world the frenzied fun of hero o-worshipping, and men, women and children sloshed through inches of water and mud to make a memorable holiday.
 The three officers rode through the downpour and into a 40-mife wind in an open automobile, cheered every inc l of the way with the fervor crowds give to returning victors in war. Behind them rode the wives or Lieu tenants Farrell and Hinton and the fiancee of Lieutenant Kloor. They had met the balloonists before they reached New York city and shared with them the short celebration in which the Metropolis preceded the triumphant return to the Rockaway naval air station. Cameramen and mo- picture photographers clicked their synthetic eyes continuously. Some of them had been taking pictures of the balloonists since they came out of the snowbound trail into Mattice last Tuesday, but they fired away as ener- getically as the argus-eyed battalion of colleagues who joined them in New York today.
 The tumult and the shouting died as the trio of airmen, greeted by 250 other service men. entered the naval air sta : ton. It was all over but the court of Inquiry which will investigate the trip. The crowd went home to change into dry clothes, and the balloonists walked to their quarters. There Lieutenan. .Kloor gave out another interview:
 This hero stuff is all bunk he said.

MAYORALTY CONTEST
OFFICIALLY SETTLED
Judge Sampson of Court of APP
peas, Says Nomination Va
can't After Evans Death

All controversy over the nomi-
nation for Mayor of Richmond
was finally and officially settled
by Judge Flem d. Sampson. OF
the Court of Appeals, this week
when he upheld the ruling oi
Circuit Judge W. r. Shackelford
that the nomination was void and
vacant following the death OF
Mayor l.. p. Evans. who had won
the nomination at the August
primary.
Judge Sampson notified attor-
neys in the case Thursday morn
ing that he had overruled motion
by Attorneys r. {. Oldham and
y. K, Burnam for a mandatory
injunction requiring the issuance
of a certificate of nomination to
Jeff M.<'hell and requiring the
county clerk to place his name
on the ballot as the democratic
nominee.
1t was alleged by attorneys for
Mitchell that inasmuch as Mr..
Evans did not file his expense aC-
count. even though he had won
the nomination, he was not en-
titled toj same and inasmuch as
Mr.. Mitchell ran second he was
entitled to the nomination. a
mandamus was sought to compel
the County Board of Election
Commissioners to .>sue a certifi-
cate of nomination to MIR. Mitch
ell and to require the county clerk
to plase Mitchell's name on the
ballot.
Or course the ordinance passed
by the City Counci at its last
meeting, changing the method of
selecting the Mayor. made every
thing null and void as far as Sc
lection of the next Mayor was
concerned. but the decision of
Judge Sampson of the Court OF
Appeals, sets at rest any claim
that Mr.. Mitchell or anyone else
might have made to the nOmina
ton.
Attorneys J. J. Greenleaf and
G.. Murray Smith argued the case
before Judge Sampson at Bar
bourville opposing the motion for
datory injunction.
