(AP)-There was another election for mayor in this southeast Missouri town Tuesday, but the dispute over who's the winner still goes on.

In an election earlier this year challenger Earl Hawkins, 49, thought he won by one vote. But when the city council recounted the votes it said incumbent William Biggs was the winner by one vote. Hawkins filed a civil suit and a new election was agreed to by both sides. That election was held Tuesday and Hawkins found himself with 72 votes, two short of Biggs' total. But Hawkins, a service station operator, said he knows of at least 85 persons who voted for him.

Hawkins said he will collect those names on a petition to ip challenge the outcome of the i- election. Holland, with a population of is nearly 500, is in the Missouri Pemiscot County.
