DENVER MAYOR SAYS '97 STADIUM VOTE DOUBTFUL

          Denver Mayor Wellington Webb said Wednesday that "he
     doubts a November election can be held on a new Broncos
     football stadium because of the delays caused by a feud over
     unpaid bills of the site selection committee," according to
     Michael Booth of the DENVER POST.  Webb: "I think the
     November election is difficult at best" (DENVER POST, 7/10). 
     Broncos lobbyist Porter Wharton, on delaying a stadium vote:
     "That would be a serious problem for us.  It's no
     exaggeration that we are having a very difficult time
     remaining a competitive franchise" (Kevin Flynn, ROCKY
     MOUNTAIN NEWS, 7/10).  Wharton "hinted" yesterday that the
     Broncos would accept the sports complex off I-25 as the site
     for a new stadium, after committee reports showed "major
     traffic and construction problems" at the proposed Stapleton
     airport site (Michael Booth, DENVER POST, 7/10).
