Many thanks to all those who responded to my question. I also called the Ellis Island Archival Library and was told that 1921 was a rather chaotic year. The U.S. Army was leaving the island (after using part of it for their soldiers - didn't know about that)... The government was bringing various anarchists and Commies to the island to stand trial Plus there was an increase in immigrants because of refugees flooding the country after the war.
