Did President McKinley cancel everything and rush to Atlantic City with his collar open and sleeves rolled up so he could be photographed looking “presidential”?

President McKinley (who is not yet President) would NEVER have been seen anywhere outside of his bedroom with his collar removed. (In those days men's collars were sold separately from the shirt and attached with a button.)
