    12/24/1909 - see "East Side Turns Out to Bury 'Little Tim'", 12/25/1909 New York Times. Sullivan was a popular Tammany operative and gangster.

    The hearse in the cited newspaper account has a rounded front, while this one has a sqare front. Might this instead be the funeral of "Big Tim" Sullivan, who died on Aug 31, 1913?

    Yes, this is the funeral of BIG Tim, on September 15, 1913 -- not LITTLE Tim, who died in 1909. Big Tim's body was unidentified in the morgue for two weeks after its discovery on railroad tracks.
