KANSAS CITY, October 27. - Investigation of senatorial elections in three States centered at Portland, Oreg., today, where Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon was to inquire into charges of excessive expenditures, while the inquiry at St. Louis into the Ku Klux Klan phase of the Indiana situation stood adjourned until tomorrow, when additional witnesses were to testify before Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, Missouri, chairman of the Senate campaign funds committee.

Senator McNary, a member of the committee, concluded the Washington State investigation at Seattle yesterday, when neither Democratic nor Republican representatives were able to provide evidence showing large expenditures by senatorial candidates. Witnesses were summoned to testify before Senator McNary today on charges of excessive contributions to opponents of Senator Robert N. Stan-field, Republican, who is seeking reelection as an independent candidate, following his defeat in the primary by Frederick I. Steiwer, attorney and wheat grower.

Arizona Probe Demanded.

As witnesses assembled for the Oregon and Indiana hearing, Senator Ralph H. Cameron, Republican, Arizona, demanded Senator Reed designate Senator McNary to investigate reports that a $100,000 "slush fund" had been thrown into Arizona by a New Mexico bank an Eastern copper interests in an effort to control the State. Senator Reed was expected to reply to this request today.

Senator Reed's decision to seek further information on the Indiana situation, particularly in regard to charges of Ku Klux Klan domination, was understood to have resulted from testimony at Kansas City Monday that Senator Watson, Republican, who is seeking re-election, attended a conference of Klan officials at Washington bearing on the campaign. It was testified that the resignation of Walter F. Bossert of Indianapolis as grand dragon of the Indiana Klan was demanded at this meeting because he would not support Senator Watson.

All the testimony relative to Senator Watson's alleged connections with the Klan was refuted by the senior Indiana Senator. Senator Reed then subpoenaed six more witnesses, understood to be mostly former Klan memsers, to appear at St. Louis tomorrow. The names were withheld pending serving of subpoenaes.
