STOCK BREAK HITS
 INVESTMENT TRUST
No Losses Expected Here From Bankers Capital
 Receivership

New York. Nov. } UP)-The Bankers Capital Corp. and Invest ment Trust was in the hands of re- ceivers today, the first such insti- tuition to be d victim of the recent stock market drop.
 Liabilities of the company were set at $75Q,000. No estimate of as sets was given. but the company said they were of great worth" con- sisting of shares of banks, trust companies and insurance companies.
 The receiVcrship was granted by Federal Judge William Bondy on petition of the Superior Credit Cor poration of Worcester. Mass. which said the Investment Trust owed it $130.OO0. The Investment Trust join ed in the petition, admitting the truth Of the complaints and blaming the Financial furore.'
 The Bankers Capital Corp. had offices in New York, New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport. Waterbury, Newark and Albany. It owned the entire capital stock of the Bankers Capital Co., of Connecticut
 A majority of the trusts 10000 shares of no-par common stock was owned by the Bankers Financial Trust, which thus controlled the Bankers Capital Corporation. R, J. Randall is president of the com pany.
 If losses follow in the wake of the receivership of the Bankers Capital Corp, little of that loss will be felt locally and that almost en- tirely by brokerage houses, financial circles disclosed today.
 Tho rcceivorship petition was presented in New York yesterday in behalf of the Superior Credit Corp. of Massachusetts against the com pany which has branch offices at Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport and New Haven. giving the impress sion of heavy holdings of the cor CCOntinuCd on Pare rWO)
