Wilbur S. Hinman informs Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt that Secretary of the Navy John Davis Lodge intends to give Wilson his old position at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Since Roosevelt did not reply to his telegram yesterday, Hinman sent William a message to Dominic I. Murphy saying that Roosevelt likely will not be able to attend the banquet for Bishop John J. Keane.
