Let \(G\) be an abelian \(p\)-group of order \(p^ m\) and exponent \(p^ s\), for \(p\equiv 3\pmod 4\). If \(G\) admits a difference set \(D\) such that \(D+ D^{-1}= G-1\) then \(s\leq (m+1)/4\). This result supports the conjecture that only skew Hadamard difference sets are Paley-Hadamard, and it is obtained using characters of \(G\).
