''l'm a true Democrat even though running on the Right-to-Life line,'' Dillon
Said. ''No true Democrat would appear on the platform with such a candidate.''
Cuomo spokesman Gary Fryer said the campaign asked O'Rourke by telegram
Saturday to produce evidence supporting allegations of anti-Semitism, saying
such charges ‘'should not be made recklessly.'!
Aloise Buckley, an O'Rourke spokeswoman, said three New Alliance Party
campaign leaflets show the party supports Farrahkan, the controversial Chicago
minister, although none of the material contained anti-Semitic remarks.
‘It's a matter of public record that Mr. Farrahkan has made strong
Statements that are anti-Semitic,'' Buckley said.
Kate Gardner, a Fulani spokeswoman, denied Farrahkan is anti-Semitic.
i Debate producer David Hepp, host of the statewide ''Inside Albany'’ program,
Said he had no plans to change the Line-up for the debate, despite the
# withdrawls.
‘tWe reluctantly agreed to the governor's demand to expand the debate to
include all four candidates,‘' Hepp said. ''We don't feel it's our place to
disinvite anyone.''
Hepp said the broadcast will be cut to 60 minutes from 90 minutes if O'Rourke
and Dillon boycott.
The develogwents come one day after Heoo expanded the broadcast to include
all four candidates after protests were lodged that Dillon and Fulani were
excluded.

Heop, who regularly reports on state government, said Cuomo's campaign was
playing a ''game'' and trying to weaken the debate by adding the other
candidates.
''There's no question that if you have four voices instead of three, it makes
\ the debate more diffused,’’ Hepp said.
