! of Sidney C. Love, former Chicago and
| New York broker. elubman and So
ciety favorite, have assumed a tangle
which may end in the supreme court
of the United States, following the
filing of two suits for divorce, one by
Love in Oregon, and the other by Mrs
Marjorie Love in New York, each ask
ing for the custody of Muriel Love,
their 2-year-old daughter.
Love arrived in Chicago Sunday and
| Immediately went into seclusion. He
| could not be found at any of the clubs
where he formerly was member, or
at any hotel. Through Clarence S.
barrow. his attorney, it was learned
neither Love nor his wife was averse
to the other getting divorce. Each
would be glad, it was said, to be free.
The marital battle, however, will CEN
ter about the child. Muriel, now with
her mother in New York.

going east to fight the suit filed there
by his wife. 1 shall go and represent
him there. Love says that his wife is
a cigarette smoker and uses alcoholic
drinks. He is going to get the child if
there Is any legal way. With the two
suits filed, in two different states, it is
hard to say how the case will result
In the event the wife wins in New

The nature of Mrs. Loves action con-
firms the fact that almost ever since

With the filing of the two divorce
suits the second romance in the brief
but sensational career of Love is
brought to an end. Mrs. Love was

Vorced by his first wife.

fortune in the last year. Mrs. Love
