From The Times, October 22, 1924Sir Douglas Hogg, KC, addressed a meeting in support of the St Pancras Conservative and Unionist candidates at the Public Hall, Kentish Town, last night. There were about 1,600 persons present but gangs of rowdies made speaking almost impossible. Major R W Barnett, Conservative candidate for the South-West Division, said that Unionists went into the fight full of confidence and were determined to win all three seats in St Pancras. Sir Douglas Hogg met with repeated interruption. “Its supporters are copying the same tactics.” (Cheers, followed by booing and chanting of “Ding dong, ding dong.”) When he again essayed to speak, his remarks were drowned
