Koenig and his crew will have the hospitality of New London show cred upon them. Mayor E. F. Rog- lers, President A. T. Miner of the Chamber of Commerce and about fifty members constituting committee waited upon Capt. Koenig. There was a conference on the pier and the captain accepted an invitation to a dinner to be given by the chamber, the time to be fixed later. The party was then divided into knots of five, and each went on the submarine and looked it over. Later, those favored with this chance for inspection stated that what they saw was mostly ma- chinery.
 Capt. T. A. Scott of the Scott Wrecking Company sent a diver down alongside of the Deutschland and he reported that there were fourteen small holes in the anchor bulkhead. These were probably made when the anchor dented the shell of the craft. The holes had caused some leakage on the trip over

 Prepare to Unload Cargo.
 Activities of a varied nature cen- tered about the German undersea merchantmen Deutschland and her doughty captain, Paul Koenig today. While the crew busted themselves, be- hind the barriers which bar the sub marine from public view, in preparing to dispose of the 500 tons of valuable cargo which the Deutschland brought from Bremen, customs officials and naval officers prepared for an inves- tigation to determine definitely the status of the vessel on the trip which ended yesterday
 The Deutschland was entered as a commercial vessel but to make cer- tain fulflllment with neutrality provi- slons, an inspection by both naval and customs officials was decided upon at Washington. Commander Yales Stir ling, who is head of the naval sta- ton here, arranged to go abroad with his aides, in conjunction with James , collector of customs of this district. The latter had conferred last night with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo who was at Hart ford regarding the questions involved in the Deutschland's reappearance.
