CONNECTION MISSED.
ROUND-WORLD TRAVELLERS. BERLIN, October 4. The three American journalists who are attempting to make a round-the-world trip in three weeks, lost their first carefully planned connection owing to the German airship Hindenburg being four hours late. Accordingly they missed the air liner to Rome from Frankfort. Mr. Ekins, representative of the North American News Alliance, flew to Vienna, Mr. Kiernan, of Scripps Howard Newspapers, to Basle, and Miss Kilgallen, of the Hearst group, to Munich. The Mayor of San Francisco has cabled offering a gold jiugget as a prize for the first of the three voyagers to drop flags, one of a European nation and one of an Asiatic nation, on the jute of the Golden Gate Exhibition, to be opened in 1939.
