We show, by the Bjorken-Johnson-Low limiting procedure, that if the Wess-Zumino field is added to massive chiral electrodynamics in four dimensions, all the second-class constraints become first-class ones. However, the obtained Poisson brackets do not satisfy the Jacobi identity. This result is different from that of the theory which is originally anomaly-free.
