Two War Veterans
Will Enter Runoff for
Florida Governor
kY the Assoeiofsd Rfsss

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May S.
A couple Of young World War II
veterans who made their marks in
politics before the war will face
each other in a runoff for Governor
of Florida.
They are Dan McCarty. 36-year-
old citrus grower and cattleman Of
Fort Pierce, and Fuller Warren, A,
q Jacksonville lawyer.
They easily outdistanced all others
in a field of nine candidates run
ming for the Democratic nomina-
ton in yesterdays primary cleo
tton. Whichever wins the nominal
ton in the second primary May rs
is certain to reach the Governors
chair. Democrats in Florida out
number the Republicans, IA to-.
Warren Takes Lead.
Mr.. Warren, who was generally
regarded as the leading man in the
campaign, slipped behind Mr.. Nc
Carly on the basis of reports from
ga of the State 1887 precincts.
This count gave Mr.. Warren 108,-
foo NoCCS W AAE,ooo lol ml. MI
Carly.
In third place, and far behind the
two leaders, was Colin English,
State superintendent OF schools,
with 58,925. The other six candi-
dates were far in the rear.
Big Day for McCarty.
It was a big day for Mr.. McCarty.
His third child, a daughter, was
born just before the polls opened.
In an almost unnoticed Repub-
lican primary, Bert Acker, Miami
public relations counsel, held a slim
lead over John L. Cogdill, Jackson
vile lawyer, for the governorship
nomination.
No returns were reported election
night in contests for delegate to the
Democratic and Republican national
conventions. A long ballot that
slowed the count, coupled with an
overshadowing interest in State and
local offices, held them up. They
may not be counted until later in
the week.
Three House Contests Held.
Democratic contests for Congress
were held in three of the six dis
trictS.
Representative Skies Of Crestview
apparently had a safe lead over
John w. Cole Of Pensacola in the
Sd district.
In the I'd district, however, Charles
E. Bennett, another young war vet
eran and former legislator, was
leading Representative Price by a
slight margin. Both are from Jack
sonville.
sgd Herlong of Tavares appar-
emily held the majority sufdcient
for nomination over two opponents
in the 5th district. Representative
Hendricks of Deland was not a can
didate. Others in the race with Mr..
Herlong were John w. L. Hicks of
Daytona Beach and Virgil Conner
of Deland.

The Lawton Constitution said yes
terday it had Indisputable proof"
that the famous outlaw of the era
following the Civil War Is still alive
and is in LaWton.
The newspaper said 1t had affi-
davits signed by three persons who
knew James in his outlaw days and
said they believed the man in Law
ton is the real Jesse James.
Mary j. James, 81, of Houston;
Toss Ingram, 70, Of Ringing, Okla,
and Dan Burns, 68, Rush Springs,
Okla, were listed as the identifiers.
In st. Joseph, Mo-, the site OF
James oficial death, the Oklahoma
newspaper story was accepted with
extreme doubt.
Missouri editors explain that
Jesse comes to life every once in
awhile"
The Constitution said the man 1t
believes to be James came to Lawton
about four weeks ago from Center
Vile, Tex, where he was known as
Frank Dalton.
