Mexico, according to the theory of some
investigators, it was Learned today. At.
torney General Lewis of New York is
conducting an official inquiry.
The arms were necessarily left near
this city when the government shut
down on shipments of munitions across
the border
The amount Of arms and ammunition
if located, will be found much smaller
than at first supposed, it was stated. In
the investigation now being conducted
by the state attorney general, direct
connection btween Germany and upris
ings in Mexico before this country en-
tered the war may be exposed, if clues
now being followed, develop as expect
ed.
That there may be similar arms caches
in cities within short distance Of
New York, was indicated today when
it was learned that a search is being
made for such stores.
When the attorney generals probe
first started it was widely reported thai

man outbreak in this country. The in
vestigation is not bearing this out, IL
was learned.
The munitions were not brought into
the United States but were made right
in this country by factories controlled
by German capital, according to the lat.
est disclosures.
Sensational developments are expect
ed before the attorney generals hear
ing is resumed next Wednesday. Swind-
lers, who had knowledge of the exist
ence of German stores of munitions in
this country, are responsible for the
stories that the number Of rifles and
rounds of ammunition held run into the
millions, according to authorities. They
exaggerated the amount in an effort to
get purchasers on representations and
without showing their wares.
The representations Of these swind
lers were held responsible for the agents
of the present Russian government com.

deal for war materials.
Gustave Lussing, reputed agent Of
the owners of the alleged munitions, de
