I would imagine lots of WTF, but they'll certainly get her tied off and squared away.
It will certainly take a while. Shades of paranoia are present, but shouted down by cooler heads - if it is a conspiracy, then who benefits? And to say nothing of the expense incurred! Completely and faithfully remaking the Titanic? Especially using old and faulty processes that supposedly contributed to her sinking? Again, who benefits? People claiming who they are the wealthy elite from the Titanic's passenger list, perhaps expecting to claim their due fortunes? What fortunes? It's all been passed on already, and getting it back would be a legal nightmare.
But eventually, after a year or so of investigation, they're forced to come to the conclusion that has been both wonderous and dreaded - that this IS the Titanic and these people ARE its passengers and crew.
And so the final, lingering question would stand: How?
Of course, that's assuming this were an isolated incident. With more such incidents occurring, there'd be more corroborating evidence stacking up that much more quickly.
On another note, the way I have things set up would be such that if the Titanic never struck the iceberg, then it would have made it back to New York in its native time period and things would butterfly-out from there.
Unless your idea was that instead of definitively sinking, the Titanic disappeared, Bermuda Triangle style, and then reappeared just over a century later.
