Radial velocity measurements of the G3 V/IV star HD 195019 revealed the presence of an orbiting companion with m sin i = 3.5 Jupiter masses and a period of 18 days (Fischer et al. 1999). A subsequent search for astrometric wobble using Hipparcos data suggested that the companion may be a K dwarf star with a mass of 0.7 Msun in a nearly pole-on orbit (Han et al. 2001). Here we present new visibility measurements obtained at the Palomar Testbed Interferometer which rule, out at the 99% confidence level, any companion in an orbit consistent with the spectroscopic data and having more than 2% of the flux of the primary star in the near-infrared K band. This upper flux limit corresponds to an upper mass limit of 0.35 Msun for the companion.
