I wonder if he was travelling with his mother or someone else since he's only five years old? Notation says admitted in left side of manifest. I'll check for a detainee record.

Detainee Record
Not much info here. Evidently, inspectors questioned his claim of US born.

Here's a 1924 manifest to keep as a possible for Anthony's father/mother:
Giuseppe Lo Conte from Antillo
with wife Antonia Scoglimbeni
and son Santo going to New York to join relatives at 341 E 105th St.
Giuseppe in the US previously 1921-1924
Occupation--shoemaker
YOB about 1896
Naturalization notations on manifest
Looks like this was a return trip for Giuseppe so he could bring his family back to the states.

Lines 8, 9, 10

Giuseppe Lo Conte first trip, 1921 manifest, line 20
