German submarine Deutsch land judged merchant ship not a war vessel
Official inquiry with naval expert opinion finds the Deutsch land cannot be converted into a warship on the high seas. Captain C F Hughes of the US navy forwarded the report to the State Department via the Treasury. Acting Secretary Polk says the ship’s status is satisfactorily determined for the US and a Neutrality Board review is unlikely to change the conclusion.

Deutschland in American Port Lingers as Merchant Vessel
Britain and France protest the Deutschland’s presence as a potential warship but the government maintains its stance. If recognized as a merchantman, the ship’s officers and crew may freely enter and exit, trade with Germany proceeds unhindered, and the vessel remains until its captain chooses to depart. The inquiry prompted by Mr. Polk concludes with a Baltimore report noting a full inspection by Collector Ryan and Captain Hughes, finding access limited to cargo and oils areas.
