If there exists a cyclic Hadamard difference set of length v, then v = 4n -1 is conjectured to be either a prime, or a product of "twin primes", or one less than a power of 2.

In this paper, we present a new way of viewing Xia's construction of Hadamard difference sets. Based on this new point of view, we give a character theoretic proof for Xia's construction. Also we point out a connection between the construction and projective three-weight codes.
This paper is a continuation of the work by R.L. McFarland and S.L. Ma on abelian difference sets with -1 as a multiplier. More nonexistence results are obtained as a consequence of a theorem on the existence of sub-difference sets. In particular, nonexistence is shown fi3r the two cases left undeci
