 A rainfall of two inches, If spread over a period of three or four hours, would not have caused so much dam age as the short, terrific cloudburst of last night, accompanied by nght- ming that, fortunately, did no dam age in New Britain except to burn out a few telephone lines, a cable line and part of the railroad signal system, all of which were repaired and in service again today.
 The deluge proved 10 be a test for the newly completed Willow Brook storm sewer system, which was built for the purpose of carry ing off excess storm water from the highways in the Monroe street sec ton of the city. The system carried off the excess water and the streets nearby were not flooded as were streets in other parts of the city

HUSTON ID RESIGN, RUMORS INDICATE
Hoover Has Long Conference With (. Q. P. Chairman
SOURCE SEEMS RELIABLE
National Official Refuses to Con- ment-Group to Meet In Washing ton Thursday-EffOrt to Dfsplace Man On For Weeks.

 This information was disclosed following a conference last night between President Hoover and Illus ton, the first they have had since disclosures before the senate lobby committee revealed Huston had tenn porarily diverted Muscle Shoals lob- bying funds to his personal stock market margin account.
 Huston Has No Comment
 Chairman Huston, when told by the United Press Of this information, said he could neither confirm or deny report of that nature" and had no statement to make.
 Officers of the national committee will meet here Thursday. the meet ing having been postponed from @o- day by Huston. It was learned Illus tons resignation will occur before or at this meeting.
 Republican leaders have been try ing for weeks to displace Huston. Disclosures of the senate lobby con- mittee concerning Illusions activi- ties in connection with the Tennes- sec River Improvement Association, which was interested in Muscle Shoals legislation, created an unfav- orable reaction among party leaders. They reported it was difficult to raise party funds for the congress sional campaign so long as Huston retained control and democrats were prepared to make what political ca apital they could out of the situa- ton.
 However. Huston rejected all hints from party leaders and insist ed he would retain his post until President Hoover himself requested his resignation.

VAN RYN-ALLIS0N CAPTURE DOUBLES Beat Doeg and Lott in English
 Tennis Finals DEFEAT IS OVERWHELMING
Last Years Champs Amaze Gallery By Sweeping Victory on Wimble- don COurts-Doeg's Serve Only Threat of Vanquished Team.

Wimbledon, Eng, July lfp - John Van Ryn and Winner Allison, young American stars, won the Brit ish mems doubles championship to- day for the second successive year, beating their countrymen, John Doeg and George Lott, in straight sets in the final. The scores were 6-3, 6-3, 6-2.
 Even Doeg Nanquished
 Seven thousand, five hundred spec tators, who had come to watch two strong American pairs fight it out In what was expected to be gripping five set match, saw Van Ryn and Allison, at the peak of their form, sink Lott and Doeg without a trace. Not even Doeg's famous service could keep his team in the running.
 Allison and Van Ryn entered to- days match as slight favorites des- pite their defeat at the hands of Lott and Doeg. the United States chaIn- pions, in the final of the Queens Club tournament two weeks ago. But few were prepared to see Lott and Doeg overwhelmed as they were today.
 The Lott-Doeg combination, which beat the French Davis cup pair of Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon on the way to the finals as we'll as the Australians, Harry Hopman and Jim Willard, was riddled as though by machine gun fire when the de- lending champions opened their hair trigger attack from close range.
 Crowd Watches Service
 Doeg kept the crowd interested by his terrific service, which is as fierce as Tilden's, but off the ground he was weak and against their we'll matched and superbly equipped op- ponents Lott and Doeg never had a chance. On the whole the unequal contest came as something of an anti-Climax.
 When the match ended the win ners threw their racquets into the air and as Allison left the court his bride of few months embraced him and also Van Ryn.
 On the way to their title. Van Ryn and Allison eliminated Britain's two best pairs-Henry Austin and J. H. Olliff: and J. Colin Gregory and Ian c. Collins.
