tivities Of Consul General Won Nuber.
which it gathered while investigating
his connection with the case Of DR..
Dumba, the recalled Austrian ambas-
sador but so far has nothing definite
on the charges attributed to DR.. GOri-
car. In substance Goricar Is accred-
tied with making the statement that
he resigned his post after fifteen years
in the Austrian consular service be-
cause he declined to perform the work
of spy. He charges that while con-
sui at San Francisco Commander
Maximillian Burstyn. the Austrian at
tache at Washington, ordered him to
gather plans OF the fortifications Ol
San Francisco harbor and along thu
Pacific coast and to get. especially de-
tails Of the works at Bremerton navy
yard.
Given Objectionable Post.
When he refused, Goricar is accred-
tied with saying, he was transferred to
Berlin, where. after Ave months, he
was ordered to proceed to Vienna
which he feared to do because Of his
pro- Slavic affiliations, so he fled to
Rome, where he resigned last Decem-
Der.
Goricars story contends that the
German ambassador, working with
Won Nuber, is in touch with the Aus
TRAN consuls at Cleveland. st. Louis
Pittsburgh. ST. Faul, Chicago and
Philadelphia, who spread propaganda
among the foreign workers in the mu
nitions factories, and such activity
Goricar alleges, extends even to con-
trolling the foreigners thru fraterna
and secret organizations. The alleged
extent Of the activities Of the Austrian
consuls and the so-called spy system
are described at length in Goricar's
published statement.
Goricars record shows he first came
to this country In 1909 and was con-
sui at Pittsburgh, Denver and finally
San Francisco, where he served three
years.
