The elevated, cast iron (sewer?) pipes with traffic and pedestrians going underneath looks like a catastophe waiting to happen. I wonder how they finished the process?

That wouldn't be a sewer. Maybe it holds electrical wires

I think it is a gas main, probably for use during subway construction. There is an article about their use while building the Broadway subway line from January, 1916: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F0DE1D61739E2...

The guy in the boater hat must be Secret Service, or the equivalent -- definitely challenging the photographer.

Both cars have the same licence plate number. Is it possible that all the cars of Taft's fleet had the same plates?
-
aware health said:
I think I found the answer. (Is there anything that can't be Googled?) By the auto registration laws of those days, dealers could apply for one registration for their entire fleet and then get duplicate plates of the registration number for all their cars. (I tried to make a tinyurl of the "McKinney's Consolidated Laws" Googlebook website but Flickr won't post it.) I'd guess that Taft took the train to NYC, and a local dealer supplied the cars for his motorcade. Can you tell the model? There's a logo on the lead car's grille, but it's hidden by the license plate.
