The Young subgroup for

(1^{n})

is trivial. Hence

M_{C}^{(1^{n})}

is the regular representation of

S_{n}

. The subgroup-average formula reduces to

m_{(1^{n}), μ} = χ_{μ} (1) = dim S_{C}^{μ} = \frac{n !}{\prod _{u \in [μ]} h ( u )} .

This is the usual multiplicity of an irreducible representation in the regular representation.
