Stochasticity in multiplicity distribution of total inelastic hadronic distributions is investigated in conjunction with the requirement of charge conservation. We obtain, for the simplest quantum-mechanical systems, neutral cluster states or partially coherent charged states. While neutral cluster states lead to negative-binomial distributions, partially coherent charge states lead to distributions very similar to the ordinary partially coherent states. Charge-compensation mechanisms are very different for these extremes. In terms of neutral clusters, the hadron multiplicity fluctuation is too large for e/sup +/e/sup -/ systems, but is compatible to hadron-hadron systems at high energies. In terms of partially coherent charge distributions, the ratio of coherence to chaos is large for the e/sup +/e/sup -/ systems and rather small for the hadron-hadron systems, similar to the conclusion obtained through the partially coherent laser distributions. Simple consequences of charge correlations and compensation in a restricted region of the phase space is also investigated.
