COLER'S CHARGE
 AGAINST MCCLELLAN

New York, Sept. 1.-Borough Presl- dent Bird s. Coler of Brooklyn, whose administration has been under inves- tigation by the Commissioners Of Ac- counts for several weeks, has retorted by filing charges with Gov. Hughes in which he accuses Mayor Mcclellan Of various misdoings in office, particular ly with reference to the Coler invesu- gatiun. Mir. Coler's letter to the Gov ernor, which was made public yester- day, is many pages long. The direct charges. are grouped under seven heads, in which appear frequently the words "pernicious," vicious" and similar adjectives.
 The Borough President accuses the Mayor of using the Commissioners of Accounts and the power of inves- tigation vested in them by the char ter to further his own personal and political interests, and puts emphasis on the cost to the city of these inqu1r- ies, which have resulted in the re- moval by the Governor of two Bor- ough Presidents. MT. Coler declares that in making the charges he has not the slightest desire to involve the Gov error i'll any political controversy or to raise a premature issue on the pres ent investiga ton. Whatever the ac- cusations may be that are brought against me, and whatever truth there
 may be in them, are things apart from the question of the pernicious use which the Mayor of the City of New York has made of the appointed Com missioners of Accounts he says.
