The title points to a delegation that formally notified Woodrow Wilson of a presidential nomination, a ceremony traditionally held after a party convention. Wilson's notification in 1912 took place at his summer home in Sea Girt, New Jersey, and drew crowds, reporters, and photographers. The Bain News Service, a Manhattan agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the 1910s, covered such events, though this record does not date the negative or confirm the title. Its caption cards, if they survive, would be the best check on who is shown and when.
