"a man (probably American politician Al Smith)" - yes, that's Al Smith.
Further to the comment currently at the end of the shots list, Churchill's accident with the car hadn't occurred earlier in his stay, it had occurred during his previous visit to New York in 1931. The visit seen here to the Empire State Building was circa October 1932.
