WASHINGTON, May 27.-A group Of bankers and financiers from every section of the country are to be con- suited by President Harding before he concludes the series of financial conferences begun Wednesday night at the White House dinner when tre eastern banking interests were chief ly represented.
 No appointment for further confer ences has yet been made but il is probable that a group of financial leaders from the middle west will be the next to be summoned by the president.
 IL was indicated in administration circles that financial men are very unanimous in believing that the fed sral reserve boai holds the key to a proper readjustment of general fInan- cial conditions. Those consulted are understood 10 have told the president . that in their opinion the board could gss d .vil.

 Another amendment called for a report by the navy department as to whether any navy yards or stations should be abandoned.
 More League Debate
 The liveliest tilt was over the amendment for appointment of American representatives to the league of nations disarmament com mission. Its author contended it followed the administration policy of appointing representatives to sit with the supreme council and the allied separations commission. Senator Lodge and Senator Watson of Geor- gia declared that the proposal was an entering wedge for American par ucipation in the league. The people of the United States" said Senator Lodge. have decided against that league. The president has declared he would not enter it."
 Expressing the hope that the presi- dent would call the disarmament conference proposed by the Borah amendment and that such a confer ence would soon De called, Sena tor Lodge added:
 But l do not propose for one to join in any way this league of na- tions, and I do not propose to enter any side door or back gate"
 Senator Walsh argued that the league commission was considering general disarmament, while under the Borah plan only naval disarmament would be under consideration.

WASHINGTON, May 27-F'inal action on disarmament questions and against beginning a new Pacific coast naval base was taken today in the senate, but other amendments to the $495 5000.000 naval appropriation bill were not disposed of when ad- journment was taken until next Tuesday, over the Memorial day holi- day.
 Disarmament proposals caused a brisk clash today over amendments of Senators Pomerene, Ohio, and Walsh, Montana, Democrats. With the .Borah amendment authorizing andsrequesting" the president to call a three power conference to discuss disarmament already in the bill, Sen ator Pomerene offered supplement- ary amendment. It would have au- thoriZed the president to suspend American naval construction for six months in order to arrange" the conference and if a disarmament agreement should be reached to sus- pend construction in part or in whole. The proposal was beaten twice, once on point of order sustained by Vice President Coolidge and again by a record vote, 29 to 37. for suspension of the rules to make it in order. Even a hvelier tilt developed on Senator Walsh's amendment which would have requested the president to send American representative to sit with. a disarmament commission of the league of nations in a consult ing capacity
