  I believe this is am M1906 4.7 inch field gun. Is there an indication that the NYNG was issued these weapons or were they special issue for operations on the border? According to Wikipedia, only 60 were made. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.7_inch_Gun_M1906)

  Wystan, Thanks for your efforts with the numerous photographs which document the National Memorial Service of May 11, 1914. We will be able to better link the related images and expand the descriptions, including the addition of a date where one is not yet included. We will also add that the cortege is passing in front of City Hall in this photo.
