Technically speaking...
The 1920s is prior to the development of Times as a newspaper font. San serifs didn't appear until 1928 (Futura) and wouldn't be used for body text anyway.
Likely choices would be pretty pedestrian: Garamond, Jenson, Baskerville, and wouldn't really date the paper. Killigrew or some other blackface style is great for the newspaper title.
