Scenes bordering on the disorderly were witnessed in the Early Settlers' Hall to-day, when Mrs. Margaret Young, Independent Eabout candidate for Wellington Central, ..ddressed an audience composed entirely of women. When the candidate rose to speak, she met with a hostile reception, her remarks being punctuated with interjections of a personal nature. She was hooted frequently, and before she had concluded her speech was howled down by a crowd of frantic women. The meeting broke up in some disorder. At her meeting held in Wellington on November 5 Mrs. Young stated that the Waihi strike was engineered by Mr. Holland and Mr. Semple.
