NEW YORK, August 7.-New York, already planning two days of mourn Ing for the late President Harding, this afternoon saw the birth of plans for a third when the committee of the Lawyers club. which was to have greeted the President on his return from his Alaskan trip, reorganized as a committee of mourning and decided to arrange a mass memorial service.

 Meanwhile the city plans to ex- press its sorrow tomorrow, the day of the state funeral at Washington, and Friday, when the late Presidents body will be entombed at Marion, o.
 Governer Smith issued a proplana- tion this morning. designating Fri day as a public holiday, and the New York clearing house, the Federal Re serve bank and all the other banking institutions in the city immediately announced plans for closing Friday. This means that practically all the city's activities will cease on that day, as various exchanges. the de partment stores. theatres and other places of amusement already had de- cided to close.
 Protestant, Catholic and Jewish congregations will meet in hundreds of the city's churches and syna- gogues.
 While business will continue as usual for the greater part of tomor- row, the stock exchanges and many business houses will suspend activi- ties for brief period while services in Washington are being conducted.
