Lawyers representing the governor's father said the caller -- recorded
on an answering machine -- told the 83-year-old real estate developer
that he was going to be subpoenaed to testify before the state Senate
investigations committee about 1994 campaign loans to his son, then
threatened his arrest if he didn't appear, and used expletives and
insults referring to the governor, a Democrat.
Letters about the call was sent to the state Ethics Commission and the
chairman of the Senate Committee on Investigations and Government
Operations, attorney Jeffrey Moerdler said.
He told the Times Union of Albany that he didn't request an
investigation but that the matter is now with government
investigators.
Gov. Spitzer's spokeswoman, Christine Anderson, said the governor
would have no comment.
Stone, 55, worked for the Committee to Re-Elect the President, which
helped President Nixon beat George McGovern in 1972 and was at the
center of the Watergate scandal.
He also worked for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984, and in 2000, helped
George W. Bush win the presidential vote recount in Florida.

ALBANY, N.Y. -

threatening phone call to Gov. Eliot Spitzer's father.
Roger Stone, who in the 1970s worked on President Nixon's re-election

making the call and said he was "set up."
