She refused, ■and'tho company split up, some followin? the captain, Miss Hilda Capon, but the majority remaining" loyal to Mrs. Griffiths Baker. The "offio'eil" body arranged that Lady Baden-Powell should be present at a 'mass mectilng fn discus? the situation. When she rose to speak Girl Guides and their mothers mounted forms and shouted that they wanted their old commander back. The vicar, thn Rev. H. C. Robin?, tried to quell tho disorder, but, led by Mr Frederick d'Abernon Vincent, brother of Lord d'Ahernon, and Mr. Nash, a local solictor,, the opposition completely domilnahed tho meeting. ' Silence was restored when Mrs. Griffiths Baker rose to protect against.(he "indignity" to which she said she and her committee had been subjected, and when she finished there were loud demands that a court of inquiry should lie hold, i'n London.- T.ndy Bad en-Towel I, who was much affected by the unrnar. promised that she won-.-] awnnge the inqu'ry, but the meeting ended in ehaos.'and as she and her officers drove awav they worn hissed and shcaifed nl.
