Curtis Sliwa , the Republican nominee in the race for mayor of New York City, said Wednesday that he has received at least seven calls from "emissaries" of wealthy people who have repeatedly offered him money to end his campaign.

Sliwa slammed those offers as "unethical and illegal."

And he warned that if he receives one more such offer, he will begin revealing names of the wealthy New Yorkers who have made them, NBC affiliate WNBC reported.

Sliwa reiterated his vow not to suspend his campaign.
