With the intention of finding a consistent Hamiltonian description of the anomalous nonabelian gauge theories in four dimensions, the authors examine algebraic properties of the Gauss-law constraints for the chirally gauged nonlinear sigma-model with a Wess-Zumino-Witten term. A relation which, in the Weyl gauge, reduces to Fujikawa's relation par. deltaomicronG/sup a/(chi) = i(D/sub ..mu../J/sup ..mu../)/sup a/(chi), is verified. Finally the authors attempt to quantize the system at the tree level by explicitly calculating the Dirac brackets.
