do you actually know who all 5 individuals are in the photo, or are you stumped and asking for identification? If it's the latter, how will you ever know if someone gets it right?

Either way, it's nice of you to offer up the $100 reward.

The first person to come up with reasonable matches gets the $100.

So you don't actually know who is in the photo? That info would have been pertinent at the start of this "contest".... Three of these guys in this photo could be joe blows from Jersey.

I doubt it. All of the available clues say otherwise.

Could the man in the middle be Alfred Smith, governor of New York during the 20's?

What are the available clues? Nice clothes? Most everyone dressed like that in the 1930s.

Joseph McKee - NY City politician and interim Mayor in 1932. Looks like the guy in the middle to me.

Definitely not Lindbergh. He would have only been about 30 when this photo was taken. The man in the middle looks to be at least ten to fifteen years older than that. Plus he doesn't really look like him.

I think there is a decent chance the man on the left next to Gehrig is Howard Hughes, who would have been 25 to 30 when this photo was taken:

Not even vaguely.
