There are two solutions to this problem.

Using -outreg-, one answer is:

. outreg using "C:\DATA\mlogit.out", eform bdec(3) rdec(3) sigsymb(*,**)
  coefastr se addstat(Model chi-square, e(chi2), df, e(df_m), Log
  likelihood, e(ll), Pseudo R2, e(r2_p), N of observations, e(N))

However, why not use Ben Jann's -estout-, downloadable from SSC, which, in
the view of a growing number of Stata users (including myself) is
superior. An example:

. use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/sysdsn3.dta
(Health insurance data)

. mlogit insure age male nonwhite, basecat(1)

Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -555.85446
Iteration 1:   log likelihood = -545.60089
Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -545.58328
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -545.58328

Multinomial logistic regression                 Number of obs   =        615
                                                LR chi2(6)      =      20.54
                                                Prob > chi2     =     0.0022
Log likelihood = -545.58328                     Pseudo R2       =     0.0185
