You can set val() on the select to update the selected option:

var province = $("#hideProvince").val();
if (province != ""){
  $("#province").val(province)
}

Try attr("selected", true) instead of attr("selected", "selected"), I found this post it may be related to what you are looking for.

var province = $("#hideProvince").val();
if(province != ""){
  $("#province option[value='"+ province + "']").attr("selected", true);
}
