Centos 6.5 directory size is incorrect using du command

I 'm running the du command on one of my websites directories and I'm getting 2 different result, I'm confused which one is accurate and why there is a big difference, here both command and the output.

du -hsc directory_name/
5.3G    directory_name/
5.3G    total


du -hsc directory_name/*
4.0K    directory_name/announcements.php
4.0K    directory_name/articles.php
1.2M    directory_name/election2011
4.3M    directory_name/error_log
78M directory_name/files
3.0G    directory_name/php
