Typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "New York Hails Hughes and His Companions, New York City - In the greatest reception since Lindbergh's, Howard Hughes and his four gallant companions paraded up Broadway July 15 almost smothered beneath New York's ticker tape accolade recognizing their record-smashing Round-The-World dash. This picture shows Hughes at City Hall as he paused only long enough for a glass of water. At right is his fellow Texan, Jesse Johes, chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
