NEW YORK NERVED
TO A HIGH TENSION
Although Some Were In
clined to Make Light of
Threat That Another
Bomb Outrage Would
Be Perpetrated To-day
Many Workers Avoid
Danger District.

New York, Sept. 2l.--The New York
custom house to-day was under the
heaviest guard in its history, because
OF warning that it would be blown
up.
Although the authorities were in
ciined to regard as hoax a postcard
received by Collector Edwards, setting
> o'clock to-day as the hour for the ex-
plosion, they took no chances
Office workers going down the can
yon of lower Broadway found scores of
coast guards with rifles and sidearIDs
entering the customs house. Scores of
guards were stationed inside the build
ing and at the doors. Everyone en-
tering the structure was questioned.
More coast guard reserves were held
at the barge Office located in Battery
park at the very tip of Manhattan is
land. These, it was said, would be
brought across the park later in the
day and strung around the custom
house.
At Governors island several com.
panics of United States regulars were
available in case of emergency.
Only one policeman was on duty in
front of the custom house. He was as
signed. to see that no vehicles were
parked in front of it.
One effect of the warning was to
keep many clerks in lower Manhattan
from their daily tasks. Frequent tele
phone calls reporting ''illness" were re-
ceived in the district. Workers who re-
ported for the day appeared torn be-
tween two inclinations first TO
treat the whole matter as joke, and
the second to laugh nevrously when
any mention of the warning was made.
An epidemic of Sudden Illness" and
visits from out of town relatives"
was particularly noticeable at the Gus
tom house.
Collector Edwards. however. was
early at work and asserted that ?
O'Clock would find him at his desk. Al |
though regarding the postcard warning |
as a joke he declared that everything |
the law allowed had been done 10 safe
guard the lives of workers in the
building
The customs house was given a thor
ough housecleaning from basement to
dome Suspicious looking packages |
were opened and corridors were lit
tered with the remains of this sur
vey. Persons carrying bundles were
halted at the doors and obliged to re-
ceive a guards permit before enter
ing
Shortly after noon all women EN-
ployes and some men were sent home
from the custom house.
