Naval Circles React To Supposed Wainwright Board Report
Washington Oct 14 The publication of what was said to be the Wainwright board report on vessels in the destruction of Corren s squadron caused shock in the Navy Department. An inquiry was begun to verify accuracy and determine who allowed the premature publication. Commander Wainwright arrived in Washington and denied knowledge of the report saying it was to be handled by recorder Lt Capeheart for Commodore Philip of the North Atlantic station. Philip said he saw the report for the first time tonight and noted articles in papers were not the same as the official document. Admiral Sampson appointed the navigators of the ships in the July 3 battle and limited the commission to determine positions of vessels, excluding the New York. The board s report comprises two charts showing vessel positions and rests on data from separate charts by navigators.
