Hayashi wants to go home but you are not the one who is directly feeling that way. Hayashi may have even told you he wanted to go home but you still are an outsider to that desire/feeling. This is how がる is used with the 2nd and 3rd persons.
The same goes for adjectives. You can feel さみしい but others only feel さみしがっている if you are the one talking about it.
