Pretty Blonde
Weighs'Offer
OF Two Mates

LOS ANGELES IA pretty
blonde who has been married to
two men is weighing today offers
Of a gas well from one and half a
hotel from the other.
Superior Court is weighing the
legal points involved.
The blonde is Peggy Lou Wolfe
Hirsch, rs. The half interest in
Hollywood's Chancellor Hotel is the
offer of Glynn Wolfe, As, husband
No. who says he wants her back.
The gas well is the offer of William
Hirsch, At, husband No. 2, who
says he wants to hang on TO her.
All this generosity resulted from
Peggy LOUIS suit for divorce from
husband No. l in order to clarity
her status with husband No. 2.
ALI three are friendly, and Peggy
Lou seemed pleased as punch by
both offers. Her attorneys said
yesterday that this is her problem:
In 1852 she got a Mexican d.
vorce from Wolfe, but her counsel
now advises her that it isn't legal
and that she should get a Califor-
MIA decree. After divorcing Wolfe
in Mexico, she married Hirsch. j.
Wolfe likewise remarked. And he
likewise was divorced in Mexico
by his second wife, actress Beverly
Marsh. Miss Marsh later got to
wondering about the legality of her
Mexican decree and filed suit in
California courts for separate
maintenance from Wolfe. She was
granted $500 a month temporary
aiimony.
Wolfe says he sees it this way:
If his second Mexican divorce
(from Miss Marsh) isn't any good,
then his first one (from Peggy
LOU isn't any good either, "and
I'm still married to Peggy Lou
.. and my second marriage isn't
legal and can be annulled."
Then, if Peggy Lou obtains her
California divorce from him they'll
have to wait year for it to be
final and II can try to win her
back"
Hirsch, however, has no inten-
ton of being disposed of without
a struggle.
81 was a bachelor until married
her." he told newsmen, "and if
she sticks with me I'll give her a
gas we'll"
Then both Wolfe and Hirsch
kissed her-for the benefit of
photographers.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A half a million dollar first pri-
mary campaign for half term as
governor Of Florida was wrapped
up today with final speeches of
candidates and left to the voters
for decision.
Polls opened at z a. m. in 1,724
precincts throughout the state as
the first of an expected 100000
voters streamed in to cast short
ballots in which three-way con-
test for the two-year unexpired
term of the late Gov. Dan McCar-
ty was the major item.
The three candidates for Demo-
cratic nomination-State Sen Le-
Roy Collins, Acting Gov. Charley
E. Johns and former state Rep.
Bradley Odham-dew home from
last-day rallies in the big cities Of
Miami and Tampa to cast their
own ballots.
Expense Statements
Their final campaign expense
statements filed Monday showed
Johns had spent $4,000 Collins
$4,000 and Oldham $4,000 in
heir vote solicitation, and all three
had balances left from contributors
to their official funds.
All three said they were conf
dent of winning at least a place
in the three-week runof for the
nomination, if not a clear victory
with an unprecedented first pri-
mary majority.
Despite forecasts Of generally
good weather, election officials
were expecting a below normal
vote because few contests other
than that for the governorship
were stirring up interest. There are
1,335,0OO voters-1, 1877 900 Demo-
Gratis and 131, 200 Republicans.
The Republicans also are having
a contest for the governorship
nomination between two former
Democrats. Tom Watson of
Tampa and Charles e. Compton
of Miami-but they have done little
or no campaigning.
Also on the primary election
ballot are Democratic contests for
two seats on the Florida Railroad
and Public Utilities Commission,
four seats in Congress and scores
Of circuit judgeships, state Senate
seats, state House of Representa-
tives posts and various county Of
fees.
The Republicans are choosing
candidates for Congress in the
First and Seventh districts sur
rounding Tampa Bay.

tell the reporter was kidding when
he asked how people were standing

Harper, 54, the hardware man and
weather observer. Lots of times
it gets up around 112 or 114.''
In fact, it got up to Ill June
10, when people most places were
still wearing suits to work. So YOU
can see summer started off down
right cool yesterday, especially in
comparison with places like Phoe-
nix, Ariz., where it was Ill. Pre-
sidio often is the hottest place in
the country. &

it was only &c." Harper said,
shaking his prematurely white
head. 81 tell you, that damp heat
hurt me worse than 119 does

lady with grazing black hair and
brown eyes, laughed at questions
about the heat.

said.
