j a conNocta NY 100-161445 HOFFMAN spent most of his time ansvering his detractors and did not pet into any formal talk. The AC en toes ne age atmosphere, it appeared, caused HOFFMAN to cut short his remarks and end the lecture before he actually intended to. Mis € e personally attended the soeaking engagemen of HOFFMAN at the University of Miami on the evening of February 1, 1970, much confusion on the platform during the time that HOFFMAN was attempting to speak, coupled with considerable heckling from the audience, His attempted speech was interspersed on numerous occasions by other persons attempting to quiet the crowd so that he could proceed without interruption, however, these efforts were penerally unsuccessful. , ino statements made by norris , dvised that although there were some ob~ scenities dispersed during HOFFMAN's sneech, both by hin and persons in the audience, nothing transpired which he considered to be a violation of any local statute, and there was no indication that HOFFMAN was attempting to incite the audience. He advised further that the speech, in itself lacked continuity, and, in fact, it was nothinre more than "a shouting contest" between [{OFFMAN and persons in the audience, After it had become obvious that HOFFMAN would be unable to deliver his speech without interruption, he left the stage in disgust. ~42~
