According to www.nps.gov/archive/gett/getttour/sidebar/reu nion13.htm this would be July 4, 1913.
According to www1.american.edu/heintze/FourthPres.htm
"1913- President Wilson is at Gettysburg giving a Fourth of July battle reunion speech. After one hour, he leaves by train for New York on way to Cornish, N.H. to spend a few days with his family."
This looks like a train to me.
And here is the itinerary of his trip:
