The problem you have is because you haven't follow the steps in the documentation:

If you download the source, install the correct packages and run the build commands you end with a chosen.jquery.js, chosen.proto.js and chosen.css.

So the following steps should do it for you:

1. Download: https://github.com/koenpunt/chosen/archive/option_adding.zip
2. Install packages: npm install && gem install bundler && bundle install
3. Run build: grunt build (note, for this you'll need the grunt cli)

Edit

Or for your convenience, download a compiled release.
