Sen. James O'Gorman [D-NY, 1911-1917],
"" I will not vote for this or any other woman suffrage amendment," said Senator James A. O'Gorman to the big delegation of women representing the Women's Congressional Union which visited him by appointment in his office yesterday afternoon to ask support for the Bristow-Mondell bill to submit an amendment to the Federal Constitution to give women the right to vote."
New York Times, May 1, 1915

An aside: "O'Gorman was the last U.S. Senator elected by a State Legislature, and from 1914 on they have been elected by general ballot on the state ticket."

Thanks to both of you for your research. What a character he must have been. We'll add the date and other information to this photo and the other one from the same day.

My research leads me to think that the woman to the left of Sen. O'Gorman is Mrs. William L. Colt, and the woman on is right is Mrs. Boissevain. The Bain captioners must have switched them. They got the names correct is this image: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/775 3232100/
We'll make the correction to the record the next time we update.

That makes sense to me. The woman with the veil doesn't look like any other images of Inez Milholland, anyway.

I suppose the woman with the fox around her neck is Inez Milholland, though it doesn't look a lot like other photos of her:
.
An excellent biographical sketch of her is at the Vassar website:
