 OUT FOR PLOTTERS
Hundreds of Detectives Watch Haunts of Known
 Radicals in New York.

Washington, May 1 With the great arm of the postal ser vice reaching out over the country to pick up additional bombs mailed from New York to men high in official and bus mess life, only one, so far as officials here were advised at noon today, got through the mails during the night.
 This was addressed to Senator Ov- erman of North Carolina, who as chairman of the special committee Investigating dlsloynl propaganda, aroused the enimity of I. W. W. and other organizations. It was held up by the postmaster at Salisbury. the senator's home town. The package bore a postmark, carried a mailing label of Gimbel Brothers,and in every respect was similar to the 16 bombs seized in New York.
 Orders went yesterday to all postal employees in the United States to be on watch for suspicious packages and this with wide spread publicity is counted on to prevent delivery of any of the bomb parcels that may be in the malls,
 Post office officials said they had no reports so far regarding the finding of IA internal machines mailed to persons in the Far West.
 New York, May 1.---Three more in 5ernal machines. mailed in the May Day plot to kill prominent men are reported to have been discovered at Gimbel's department store, having been innocently returrNd there by the post office authorities for additional postage. They were said to have been addressed to United States sen Rtors.
 Every agency Of the Federal and municipal government was at work today, not only in an attempt to trace the authors of the terrorist plot, but to guard against the Reds boast of a country wide surprise on May Day"
 Members of New Yorks famous bomb squad, under the direction of Inspector Fauerot, and hundreds of detectives, watched the haunts of ev- cry known radical here and it was in- timeted by the police that before night there would he 2 general round up of extremists of all types in this city and suburbs.
 While 36 bombs have been deIiv-
  all apparently mailed from New York in identical parcel post packages- Postmaster Patten said: ''The like hhood that other internal machines will be brought to light in the next "A hours Is absolutely appalling"
 The postmaster said that "evident- ly the packages were mailed with a view of reaching the address on or about May l. This is indicated by the fact that parcels reaching the Pa cif1c coast bore the postmark of April 23. Those detained here were put in the mails April 26."
 Persons in touch with the Federal and municipal authorities predicted today that the haunts of the Reds here would be invaded and many ra- dlcals deported.
