J., this afternoon: Direct radio. messages from the Graf Zeppelin received by naval stations and Washington and New York placed- the- ship somewhat eas tot -Bermuda but differed in the longitude given. New York reported the longitude as 62 de grees west, and Washington as 6 .10 west. 'Apparently the fig urea had been .slightly garbled in transmission. Lieutenant- Commander Charles B. Rosendahl, U. 8. N.. a -guest on this first 'commercial trans-Atlantic flight, radioed at 7 o'clock, eastern standard time, last night, that the Zeppelin was proceeding comfortably about three-quarters of its normal, air speed which would bring it to Lakehurst this afternoon. Eckener May Want Benefit of Welcome One interpretation of. the m sage was that Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the dirigible, find in ' it possible - to . arrive at bis destination this - morning, had slowed the speed of the craft la order not to defeat the elaborate reception plans which had be on made on the assumption that he could not reach LakebUrst before afternoon. After Its mishap of the morn, ing when torn fabric on the port horizontal fin had reduced the dirigible's sped for several hours. it' made steady progress. Tnrougn the day and evening, American radio stations were enabled to maintain frequent communication with- the big airship while tb Earonean stations had lost con tact. ...--. ) Bermuda Reports Ship Passes These i Hamilton, Bermuda, had re ported earlier in the evening that the dirigible had passed over the island, indicating a -considerable of speed since it was last reportjrf. Eve--aner-dlrect-dls patches had. cast doubt on this report, those who had reported seeing red and green signal flares dropped as the airship passea maintained they had not been mis taken. LAKEHURST.
