For the second time in as many weeks hostile crowds yesterday forced British police to halt a public meeting in Manchester at which Geoffrey Harm, Mosley lieutenant, was scheduled to speak.

Harm, a notorious Jew-baiter, makes most of his speeches in and around Manchester. Reportedly his reception in the small provincial towns in the region has generally been hostile.
