Perhaps the most startling claim was that the naval attache of the Austrian embassy at Washington sought last year, when Gorlcar was stationed In San Francisco, to have him obtain plans of all fortifications in San Francisco haroor and on the Pacific coaat. He claimed, the Jour nal said, that he Waa Instructed par tlcularly to get every possible detail of the operation of activities, the ma chinery contents and the strength of the Bremerton navy yard. Refusing to get these facts, the paper said, GOricar waa transferred in April, 1914 to Berlin and later ordered to Vienna Instead, fearing because of his pro-Slavic affiliations that he would be Imprisoned or killed. ..c cordlng to the Providence paper, he fled to Rome and later resigned.
