SEEKING OWNER OF
 5OO MACHINE GUNS
Customs Officials to Hold Guns Till Mystery of
 Ownership Is Solved
Rx Associated Pres.

New York June 16.--Ownership of the 4s5 machine guns and the hun dreds of spare parts, seized yesterday by custom officials after they were found secreted on the steamship East Side, and presumed to have been destined for Ireland, is still subject of investigation by government of ficials. The guns through the agency of a federal warrant of deten- tion, were restored today to the pos session of customs officials from whom they were taken on a search and seizure warrant by the Hoboken police.
 A hearing set for today was in- tended to bring out the story of Frank Williams that they were stolen from his warehouse, but the hearing was declared off after the federal writ had been served.
 Custom. officials said they would take the arms from Hoboken police headquarters to a custom storehouse tomorrow and there hold them until the mystery surrounding theft dis covery is solved. Federal agents are working on several angles of the case, including an attempt to trace the guns from the factory in which they were manufactured. They are also questioning present and former members of the crew. The inquiry will extend to Norfolk, to which port the ship cleared after leaving New York last night.
 Mr. Williams. through his at torney. is also conductingSan investi- gation to determine the identity of the parties who. he claims stole the guns from his warehouse. He is also concerned regarding the whereab outs of 1o5 additional machine guns, which he said, were stolen at the same time and have not yet been found. Mir. Williams, according to City Attorney Fallon of Hoboken. is contractor with an office on Broad way. New York.
 Advices from Hartford. where the arms were manufactured, stated that they were made for the Auto Ord nance Company of New York and shipped in the usual way. The type of gun seized. an official of the com pany said. is known as the Thomp- son sub machine gun and is sold through jobbers in large lots. If Williams actually owned the guns, the official declared, he must hay. bought them through such jobbers in small lots.
 When the case was. called for hear ing today, government attornevs asked for a postponment of a week which was opposed by MT Fallon. The government officials bas sed their right of possession on a section of the espionage act of 1917, authoriz- ing seizure of arms believed to be in- tended for illegal export. Advices from Washington were that this act was still in force. although an amendment to it was repealed in 1919
