ORDERS HOG|SLAND
REPORT GIVEN OUT.
President Sends Instructions
to White House-Ready
in Day or Two.

Instructions reached the White
House by wireless from President
Wilson today to make public the re-
port of Attorney General Gregory upon
his investigation of the Hog Island
shipbuifding plant. The report will be
given out as soon as it can be pre-
pared for publication, probably in a
day or two.
Delay in publication of the report,
which was prepared by the Attorney
General several months ago, has been
the subject of speeches in the Senate
recently. in which charges of waste
and delay in constructing the big yard
were repeated. It is understood that
the President held up the report await
ing an agreement between Mr.. Gregory
and Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Board on the state of facts shown by
the inquiry as to causes for delay in
completing the project.
Evidence of Watchfulness.
The Presidents instruction regard
ing the Hog Island report is only one
violence of the close touch which he
is AecpinS with government business.
Daily secretary 1umulty receives
sheaf of cable messages from the
PRESIDENT involving the recommen-
dations of cabinet officers and heads
OF other government agencies. The
President has been studying the an
nual reports of his cabinet officers,
and comments about their recon-
mendationS are coming through.
Secretary Tumulty acts as the clear
ing house for all government BUSH
ness requiring the Presidents atten-
lion. In some cases he transmits
communications verbatim. but when
they are too long he boils them down
and merely summarizes them.
The Presidents secretary also keeps
him informed about press opinion,
Just as he does when the President is
at home. Members of Congress are
at liberty to communicate with the
President through the same channel.
though none them yet has found
il necessary to do SO.
