sion to Hoist Flag During
King Oscars Visit
BY Associated Press

I5Y ASsOCIi+IGu FTeSS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Robert s..
Bergh, American consul at Gothenburg,
Sweden, who was recently called upon
by the state department to explain pub
lie charges that he had been guilty of
disrespect to the king of Sweden In
failing to hoist the flag over the con-
sulate at the recent visit of King Os-
car to Gothenburg. has sufficiently ex-
planned the episode.
Mr. Berghs statement came by mail
today to the state department. He says
that he was unaware of the presence
of King Oscar in Gothenburg, the visit
having lasted only a short half hour,
until he had left the city" He also calls
attention to the fact that the Spanish
consul likewise failed to hoist his flag
over the Spanish consulate on the same
occasion. The explanation is deemed
sufficient.
