TeX?! Overly helpful?!  ... Not!

Where are you getting hyphenation? 

* in ToC only 

* or in the body of your output


I am guessing that you may be using twocolumn in your options.

1. figure out how to have the ToC in just one column

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\tableofcontents

\newpage

\twocolumn

2. reduce size

\begin{small}

\tableofcontents

\end{small}

3. use \raggedright which will require that you modify the section
headings command(s), a non-trivial task
