: JERSEY CITY, March 18 - Last November, a special election to fill the last seven months of the term of the late mayor, Glenn D. Cunningham, turned into a free-for-all. Eleven candidates - some hardened veterans of Hudson County politics, others novices - scrambled to replace Mr. Cunningham, who died of a heart attack in May.

: The race was as rough and raucous as it was entertaining.

: Signs were torn down and rocks were tossed into campaign vehicles. Embarrassing pictures of one candidate were posted on the Internet and there was enough spin to make this city of 240,000 people dizzy for weeks.

: In the end, Jerramiah T. Healy, a former city councilman who had also served as municipal court chief judge for five years, won the election with 17,401 votes, beating his closest opponent, Assemblyman Louis M. Manzo, by 2,242 votes.

: And now, about four months later, just as things have calmed down, another mayoral election is on the calendar. It is set for May 10.
