At about 9.20 p.m., police officers stationed outside the hall were asked by the chairman of the meeting to go inside as about 30 people among the audience were creating a disturbance by singing and shouting Fascist slogans. A sergeant and two constables entered the building and on their appearance inside the interrupters left the hall and dispersed without incident. The meeting then continued in an orderly manner and ended at about 11 p.m.
