Who called up the corner hounds and why didn't anyone notice...?

@KurtinStGeorge
Harry gives a rationale for this when he talks about secrets isolating you. Generally speaking everybody is keeping secrets at the peace conference and it keeps them from working together. Harry doesn't trust the Wardens, the Wardens don't trust Harry and Thomas is being used by who know what. Eb doesn't tell his right hand what his left hand is doing. Even River Shoulders is keeping secrets. This is about fun, fantasy, and confusion. Keep everybody milling around until you land the sucker punch. It was just a lame sucker punch.

It seems to me that Ebenezer is more likely to use anything he could to seal Thomas' fate.

It might be just general "wizards keeping secrets" as morriswalters says, but I think also the difference is that Eb wants to get rid of Thomas and keep Harry in the White Council. He doesn't want Harry to be obviously seen as taking Thomas' side.
And I doubt Eb generally reports to the Wardens about stuff he fights anyway. Harry, as a Warden, might be expected to.
EDIT: Also, I'm not suggesting that Harry thought the Cornerhounds had something to do with Thomas specifically, in the sense that they were the result of Thomas doing something nefarious. More likely he assumed that one of the other groups watching Justine's house summoned them.
Mira:
It could be that they were sent as yet another distraction. They also could have been a preemptive
strike by the Fomor. If indeed the Gates are being attacked, unless it is opportunistic on the part of
the Outsiders, they are in league with the Fomor. So why wouldn't they try to take out the most dangerous member of the Senior Council, the Blackstaff? And while they are at it the star child, Harry?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Outsiders have to be whistled in by a mortal, presumably due to free will. That means a significantly powerful practioner. Eb either did it unintentionally, and they sought him out ,or another wizard did it intentionally setting them on Eb.
