You adjust this in the TOC Style definition.
In the field where you specify the tab character (^t), follow it with either a spacebar, thin space, en-space or whatever fixed space you want. I highly recommend any of the fixed spaces so that the white space is consistent for all entries in the TOC.
In this example below, ^t^m puts an em-space (^m) after the tab (^t) so that you can see the difference, but in real projects I'd probably use an n-space or thin space. Use what looks good for your de

Hi,
Thank you very much for you instruction.
I got a better knowledge about table of contetns.
I have additional questions.
Q1.
Looing at the line, "Manhattan (New York County)", Between Entry and Number is ^y^l^l^l (right indent tab + 3 hair spaces). When I add more hair spaces to give more space between the dot and the page number, nothing happens. Is it related with Tab I defined in paragraph style?
Q2.
Is there any way to change the distance between heading and dot?
