b-59: thank you for finding more information about the group of men in the picture. We'll add it to the record.

William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury under Woodrow Wilson, and his second wife, Eleanor Randolph Wilson, daughter of the President. They got married on 7 May 1914.

She actually looks much better in a formal portrait (now at the LOC Harris & Ewing collection):

In her wedding dress:

The McAdoos were visiting the Princeton University campus on June 13, 1914, in the company of Mrs. McAdoo's father, U. S. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, who was attending the 35th anniversary reunion of his Princeton graduating class, the Class of 1879: "President is just 'Tommy' for a day" --New York Times story, June 14, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F7091FF73C5E13...

Secretary of the Treasury, William Gibbs McAdoo married the President's daughter while serving in Wilson's cabinet. Wow! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibbs_McAdoo

Harry Angstrom: Thanks for the tip! We'll add his full name to the source data and then reload the description to Flickr.

Thank you for adding this interesting image to the Historical Desks group, much appreciated. There is a bit of a local connection here as Secretary McAdoo's boss and Father-in-Law, Woodrow Wilson visited Carlisle in Cumbria UK where his mother was born. The house of her birth still exits in Warwick Street and sports a blue plaque which can be seen at: www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=woodrow%20wilson&w=10...

Interestingly, Vincent Price portrayed him in the movie "Wilson."
