Might the spelling be HODUL? There were no Huduls that passed thru Ellis Island port to America but 43 HODULs did.
Most of the Hoduls were from the present Slovak Republic.
The surname still lists in SK's phone book.

Take a look at surname NODUL on Ellis Island. He was one and only and if you look at the writing the H in Hodul could have passed for being Nodul. NO surname Nodul in SK.
18 Hoduls list in Social Security Death Index.
