Wilson was elected to the Sixty-fourth, Sixty-fifth, and Sixty-sixth Congresses (March 4 1915-March 3 1921). He was not a candidate for renomination in 1920. He was appointed general counsel of the Alien Property Custodian of the United States in 1922, serving until 1927. He resumed the practice of law. He died in Chicago, and was interred in Union Cemetery in Ohio, Illinois.
