Thanks to Rob Marland for help in identifying Wilde’s hotel in San Jose.
According to Robert D. Pepper [1] there was no north bound train back to San Francisco after Wilde's lecture so he stayed overnight in San Jose.
He lectured the following night in Stockton, and the map opposite shows his possible routes.
